The running in and around Eccles is mostly on pavement and quiet roads, so road shoes are fine, covering anything from 5km to 6.5km. It stays flat enough for steady, even-paced running. Most are out-and-backs, which makes them easy to cut short. Salford and Urmston are close enough to be worth a look too.
