Belfast City Marathon 2025

Take part in the 2025 Belfast City Marathon for Shine!

Join #TeamShine with your own place - get in touch!

The Moy Park Belfast City Marathon on May 4th is one of the leading marathons in the UK and Ireland. Between 15,000 and 18,000 runners take part each year, and it’s renowned for the incredible local support and crowds to cheer on participants throughout the 26.2 mile journey.

The Marathon route runs through all four areas of Belfast; North, South, East and West, starting at the Stormont Estate and finishing in Ormeau Park.

It’s suitable for all runners, whether you are a first timer or an experienced runner, and individuals or relay teams can take part.

You can find more information on the marathon, including relay information and a map of the route here.

If the marathon seems too much of a challenge, why not take part in the half marathon or an 8-mile walk on the same day instead?

FAQs for all Belfast City Marathon weekend events can be found here.

Whichever event you choose, we’d love you to join #TeamShine and raise vital funds to help us support more than 14,000 members across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
