Belfast City Marathon moves into its 37th year in 2018 with its continued support from title sponsor Deep RiverRock. Launched in 1982 with 3025 entrants, the event takes place on May Day each year, now bringing over 17,000 people to Belfast. Whether you’re a marathon athlete, keen walker, fundraiser, interested in athletics at school or simply love a challenge, there is an event to suit you on Bank Holiday Monday 7th May 2018!
Marathon Run and Wheelchair Race
The 26.2 mile main marathon race is renowned for being a tough challenge for the marathon entrant, in particular the notorious hill section of the Antrim Road. However, the Belfast event is equally renowned for the incredible local support and crowds to cheer you on throughout your 26.2 miles!
Marathon Team Relay
The team relay is for teams of ‘two to five’ people, running the same course as the main marathon race. This event is perfect if you are exploring an interest in running as there are ‘legs’ of the marathon route ranging from 3.3 miles. More often than not friends, work colleagues or schools will form a team and raise much needed funds for charity. Mencap NI are the Official Charity partner for 2018.
8 Mile Walk
Whether you are part of a walking club or want to set a realistic health and fitness goal for 2018, the buzz of race day and being part of the biggest marathon event in Northern Ireland is an opportunity you don’t want to miss!
Fun Run
The Fun Run is approximately 3 miles long. This event is ideal for the whole family to team together and it attracts a wide range of ages, from primary school to mums running with buggies, to those wanting to compete in a short race for fun!
