This was the 3rd time i have ran the UKFast Salford 10k. I live in the area so it is a convenient race for me to enter. It is relatively cheap to enter compared to some other similar events (£21). For me the best thing about the Salford 10k is the transport links and the location provides plenty of parking if you want to travel straight there by car. I choose to use the Manchester Metrolink as it drops you off at Media City right at the starting line, i find this takes away a lot of the anxiety beforehand knowing it is easy to get to the start. The race itself is always enjoyable and very well organised. It doesn't have the best of scenery and views as the route takes you into Trafford Park Industrial Estate but the crowds and atmosphere are always good. Add to that the course is as flat as you will get in a 10k (apart from being on a track) and you can definitely train towards getting a 10k PB. As a local this is a race i look forward to and i would certainly recommend it to anybody. Even if you would have to travel a long distance to get here, it would be an ideal race to fit in during a weekend visit to Manchester.
