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.

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.
We have been extensively researching what runners consider important, and sustainability is fast becoming the top issue. Click here to see what RunThrough is doing for sustainability.
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!
