Stroll for Salford 2026 date

Following its successful debut last year, Greater Manchester’s now much-loved Stroll for Salford (SfS) event is back for 2026 this autumn.

We’d like to think everyone from around here is filled with hometown pride, but you ask anyone from Salford, and they’ll quickly remind you that this place is its own city, and that it quite rightly deserves celebrating all of its own.

And that’s exactly what the SfS is all about: not just toasting it as the region’s so-called ‘second city’, but as the culturally abundant place that it is and has been for more than 100 years.

Yes, with this sophomore edition following on from the borough celebrating its official Centenary, what better time to hail all things Salfordian.

Set up by Salford City FC and the partnered charity arm, Foundation 92, the inaugural walk raised more than £3,000 for charity with its maiden event.

Thousands got behind the cause, be it through volunteering and/or donating, as well as talking on the walking route itself back in October.

It’s actually happening a little earlier this time, with the second Stroll for Salford scheduled for Saturday, 19 September.

Kicking off from 10am, those taking part will be setting out on foot for a six-mile journey across the city, starting at the likes of the Civic Centre in Swinton, before passing through other key towns and finishing, of course, at Salford’s AIG Stadium on Moor Lane in Kersal.

The local League Two side continues to do plenty of important work in and around the community – this is just one of many recent, well-received initiatives.

As mentioned earlier, those getting involved will not only receive a special Salford t-shirt following the event alongside a finisher’s medal, but even a complimentary ticket to go and see ‘The Ammies’ in action at their home ground this season.

Not a bad deal at all.

For anyone uninitiated interested in coming along the journey, the route will also pass several key landmarks and a real sense of local history – all while doing your bit for a good cause.

You can help raise important funds for the local area and sign up for the Stroll for Salford 2026 HERE.
