Come and join us for the return of the Media City Half Marathon. This road-closed Half Marathon delivers a flat, fast course designed for confident pacing and PB attempts. Starting and finishing at Media City UK, the route combines city roads around Salford and Eccles with footpaths around Salford Quays for a varied and engaging race day.

Expect clear mile markers, enthusiastic marshals throughout, and a supportive atmosphere from start to finish. With wide roads and open waterfront sections, the course offers great viewing points for friends and family.

Last Minute - Until sell out

Each kilometre is accurately marked with distance flags and our friendly marshals will guide and cheer you all the way to the finish. We cannot wait to welcome you to Media City Half Marathon.

With RunThrough you can expect a friendly team of marshals to help guide you round the course and cheer you on to the finish, a lively and well-serviced event village with plenty of food and drink options including free goodies from our partners at the finish line after your hard effort.

You can now grab your Media City Half Marathon event t-shirt for more than 30% off when you buy it as part of your entry on checkout! With the event logo printed on the chest, it’s the perfect keepsake to celebrate your race and wear your achievement with pride!

We can do this with our partner RT Kit as part of a strategic decision to raise awareness about the quality of the product whilst reducing the overall cost of events for those who would prefer not to have a t-shirt included.

Come and enjoy the day with us. Once you enter you will receive a confirmation email. More information will be sent closer to the event.

We can’t wait to see you on the start line!

Getting There

There is no specific event parking for the event. Entry into the Media City multi-storey car park will close at 8.30am due to road closures, we advise arriving before 8am if you plan to use this car park as there will likely be queues on arrival. We recommend using the Lowry Outlet car park which is a short walk from the venue and is outside of the road closure area.

Baggage

We will have a secure marquee where you can leave your baggage. We recommend you bring as little baggage as possible. Your baggage tag is attached to your race number, you simply tear it off and attach to your bag. To collect, show your number to our staff and they will help you find your baggage.

Toilets

There will be portable toilets available within the event village. Due to the 2-lap nature of the course, you will also be able to access these toilets during the race.

Water & Refreshments

There will be water stations at approximately 2.5, 4.5, 6.5, 9.5 and 12 miles. There will also be water available at the finish along with your post race goodies and medal.
