Media City Half Marathon February 2027

The Media City Half Marathon is a February half marathon in Salford, starting and finishing at MediaCityUK. It uses a closed-road, two-lap course with a 9:00 am start, and the route is built for steady pacing: flat, fast, and clearly marked at each kilometre or mile depending on the event listing. Runners loop around Salford and Eccles, then use the footpaths around Salford Quays and the paths and pavements inside Media City itself. The field suits both first-timers and runners chasing a personal best, with marshals and helpers along the way. The race is still young, returning for its second running, and it also links with Mind in Salford and Rainbow Mind Greater Manchester to raise money for local mental health support.
