Die Strecke ist flach und schnell, mit einer Doppelrunde durch das Hafengelände, und eignet sich damit für einen Bestzeitversuch zum Frühjahrsauftakt.","The Media City Half Marathon starts and finishes on the MediaCityUK piazza in Salford and runs on closed roads around Salford Quays and out towards Eccles in late February. The course is flat and fast, loops through the docklands twice, and suits a spring-opener personal-best attempt.",{"de":136,"en":137},"Vom Platz vor den Fernsehstudios geht es zunächst über die Straßen der Quays nach Westen. Die erste Runde ist die längere: Zwischen etwa Kilometer 4,4 und 7 hängt sie einen Abstecher Richtung Eccles an, bevor die Strecke zurück ans Wasser führt und an der Media City vorbeikommt. Die zweite Runde folgt demselben Korridor um die Quays, aber ohne diesen Abstecher, und endet wieder auf der Piazza.\n\nHöhenunterschiede spielen kaum eine Rolle. Das Profil bewegt sich zwischen rund 19 und 32 m, und die gut 120 m Anstieg verteilen sich auf viele kurze Wellen – Rampen zu Brücken und Uferwegen statt echter Hügel. Steile Abschnitte gibt es keine.\n\nDer Charakter des Rennens kommt vom Ort: breite Straßen zwischen Glasfassaden, offene Abschnitte an den ehemaligen Hafenbecken, Fußwege entlang des Wassers und ein Eventdorf direkt am Start. Weil die Runde zweimal am Veranstaltungsgelände vorbeiführt, sehen Zuschauer die Läufer mehrfach. Ende Februar ist in Salford mit Kälte, Wind vom Wasser und Regen zu rechnen.","From the square in front of the TV studios the route first heads west on the Quays' roads. The first lap is the longer one: between about km 4.4 and 7 it adds an out-and-back towards Eccles before the course returns to the water and passes Media City. The second lap follows the same corridor around the Quays without that detour and finishes back on the piazza.\n\nElevation barely matters. The profile stays between about 19 and 32 m, and the roughly 120 m of ascent come from many short undulations – ramps up to bridges and waterside paths rather than real hills. There are no steep sections.\n\nThe race's character comes from the setting: wide roads between glass façades, open stretches along the former dock basins, footpaths by the water and an event village right at the start. Because the loop passes the venue twice, spectators see runners more than once. In late February, expect cold, wind off the water and rain in Salford.",{"de":139,"en":140},"Auf diesem Kurs gibt es keinen Anstieg, der das Tempo diktiert – entscheidend ist, wie gleichmäßig du läufst. Setze dein Zieltempo ab dem ersten Kilometer und halte die Anstrengung über die kleinen Brückenrampen konstant, statt dort Tempo zu halten.\n\nDer Abschnitt, der das Rennen entscheidet, ist die zweite Runde ab etwa Kilometer 12. Dann kennst du die Strecke schon, das Feld ist auseinandergezogen, und der Wind an den offenen Hafenbecken kostet allein mehr als in der Gruppe.\n\nDie größte Falle ist der Durchlauf am Eventdorf zur Hälfte: Zuschauer und Zielnähe verleiten zu einem Tempoanstieg, obwohl noch neun Kilometer fehlen. Suche dir bei Gegenwind am Wasser eine Gruppe und spare deine Reserven für die letzten drei Kilometer.","On this course no climb dictates the pace – what matters is how evenly you run. Settle into goal pace from the first kilometre and keep the effort constant over the small bridge ramps rather than holding speed on them.\n\nThe section that decides the race is the second lap from about km 12. By then you know the course, the field has spread out, and the wind across the open dock basins costs more when you run alone than in a group.\n\nThe biggest trap is the halfway pass by the event village: spectators and the nearby finish invite a surge while nine kilometres remain. Find a group for headwind stretches along the water and save your reserves for the last three kilometres.",{"de":142,"en":143},"Für die meisten Hobbyläufer dauert der Media-City-Halbmarathon zwischen etwa 1:30 und 2:30 Stunden – eine gleichmäßige Dauerbelastung knapp unter der Schwelle, ohne Anstiege, die Tempo und Puls zerreißen.\n\nWeil der Kurs flach ist, entscheidet deine Fähigkeit, ein konstantes Tempo lange zu halten. Baue Schwellenläufe von 20 bis 40 Minuten und Intervalle im Halbmarathontempo ein, und lege in lange Läufe von 16 bis 20 Kilometern Abschnitte im Renntempo.\n\nDie zweite Runde ist der Prüfstein: Übe in langen Läufen, die letzten Kilometer bewusst im Zieltempo oder etwas schneller zu laufen, wenn die Beine schon müde sind. Kurze Steigerungen helfen, auf den Brückenrampen locker zu bleiben.\n\nDie Vorbereitung fällt in Dezember, Januar und Februar. Plane Kälte, Wind und Dunkelheit ein, trainiere in der Kleidung, die du am Renntag tragen willst, und übe das Warmlaufen bei niedrigen Temperaturen.","For most age-group runners the Media City Half Marathon takes between about 1:30 and 2:30 – a steady effort just below threshold, with no climbs to break up pace and heart rate.\n\nBecause the course is flat, your ability to hold an even pace for a long time decides the result. Build in threshold runs of 20 to 40 minutes and intervals at half-marathon pace, and put race-pace blocks into long runs of 16 to 20 kilometres.\n\nThe second lap is the test: practise running the last kilometres of long runs at or slightly faster than goal pace on tired legs. Short strides help you stay relaxed over the bridge ramps.\n\nThe build falls in December, January and February. Plan for cold, wind and darkness, train in the kit you intend to race in, and rehearse warming up in low temperatures.",[145],{"eventName":6,"eventDate":9,"eventHomepageUrl":11},[147,154,160,167,175,182],{"slug":148,"eventName":149,"proseName":150,"city":151,"country":8,"eventType":14,"eventDate":152,"distanceInMeters":22,"elevationGainInMeters":153,"classification":26},"chester-half-marathon","Essar Chester Half Marathon",{"de":149,"en":149},"Chester","2027-05-16T00:00:00.000Z",114,{"slug":155,"eventName":156,"proseName":157,"city":158,"country":8,"eventType":14,"eventDate":159,"distanceInMeters":22,"elevationGainInMeters":20,"classification":26},"liverpool-morun","Liverpool MoRun",{"de":156,"en":156},"Liverpool","2026-11-21T00:00:00.000Z",{"slug":161,"eventName":162,"proseName":163,"city":164,"country":8,"eventType":14,"eventDate":165,"distanceInMeters":22,"elevationGainInMeters":166,"classification":26},"manchester-half-marathon","ASICS Manchester Half Marathon",{"de":162,"en":162},"Manchester","2026-10-04T00:00:00.000Z",41,{"slug":168,"eventName":169,"proseName":170,"city":172,"country":8,"eventType":14,"eventDate":173,"distanceInMeters":22,"elevationGainInMeters":174,"classification":26},"north-lincolnshire-half-marathon","North Lincolnshire Half Marathon & 10k",{"de":171,"en":169},"North-Lincolnshire-Halbmarathon & 10 km","Scunthorpe","2027-03-07T00:00:00.000Z",69,{"slug":176,"eventName":177,"proseName":178,"city":180,"country":8,"eventType":14,"eventDate":181,"distanceInMeters":22,"elevationGainInMeters":20,"classification":26},"york-morun","The York 1.5k, 5k, 10k & Half Marathon MoRun",{"de":179,"en":179},"York MoRun","York","2026-11-22T00:00:00.000Z",{"slug":183,"eventName":184,"proseName":185,"city":187,"country":8,"eventType":14,"eventDate":188,"distanceInMeters":22,"elevationGainInMeters":189,"classification":190},"atw-mallory-race-circuit-winter-runs","ATW Mallory Race Circuit Winter Runs - Half Marathon, 10k, 5k and Fun Run",{"de":186,"en":186},"ATW Mallory Race Circuit Winter Runs","Kirkby Mallory","2027-01-17T00:00:00.000Z",176,"ROLLING",1791431383745]
