This is not a closed road race. Each kilometre will be accurately marked out and we have plenty of helpers to encourage you on your way to the finish line.

BRAND NEW MEDAL FOR EACH EVENT!
We have been extensively researching into what runners consider important, and sustainability is fast becoming the most important area. Click HERE to see what RunThrough is doing for sustainability.
T-Shirts at events have been a hot topic mainly around them not being a high enough quality to wear on a regular basis. So we have decided to tackle this by offering a RunThrough Kit Technical T-Shirt with a retail value of £22 for £12 with the addition of the Tatton Series logo printed on the chest.
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 this included.
If you already have the official 2023 Media City 5k & 10k T shirt in Red and want a different colour, just add to checkout as normal and then send an email to us at info@runthroughkit.com with your order number and the colour of the T shirt you would like us to print the logo on. The range of RunThrough Kit In the Zone T-Shirt colours can be found here: FEMALE and MALE
Come and enjoy the day with us; we hope to see you there!
