Grab your Santa hat or reindeer antlers and join hundreds of festive runners at the RunThrough Run MediaCity Christmas 5k & 10k in support of Moya Cole Hospice.
We’re proud to be the charity partner of this celebrated event, starting and finishing in the heart of MediaCity, Salford. You’ll head out around a flat, quick 2.5km loop that runs over the canal and past the Imperial War Museum, ITV and BBC television studios.
