ON A PLOD 2 MCR

ON A PLOD is a five-hour, backyard-style running event that resembles an all-day running festival rather than a traditional race. The event uses a fast, flat 3km loop along the river and through Salford Quays, with every lap starting and finishing at the race hub at Steel Foundry. Participants may complete a single loop or keep stacking laps throughout the five-hour format.

The event includes live tracking and a rolling leaderboard via a bib timing system. Music is provided by a live DJ and there is an on-site party atmosphere at the race hub. Facilities listed for participants include changing rooms, showers, toilets, a warm-up zone, bag drop and professional photography. Product samples are available from partner brands, and the event notes post-run refreshments from Jubel and other listed partners.

Tickets are available for race entry and for spectators and the afterparty. The venue is Unit 8, Ordsall Lane, Salford M5 3LW, UK, located near Salford Quays. The event description indicates support from partners including Jubel, Tenzing, ESN, Ovrload, Wintergreen, Truestart Coffee and Windup.
