Join #TeamNICHS

Sunday 2nd May 2027

Go the distance for #TeamNICHS at the Belfast City Marathon 2027!

Take on Northern Ireland’s biggest running event and experience the buzz of the Belfast City Marathon! Starting at Stormont Estate and finishing in Ormeau Park, the route takes you through the heart of the city, past iconic landmarks and vibrant neighbourhoods, all backed by incredible local support.

Whether you take on the full marathon or join forces with friends in the Marathon Relay, there’s a challenge for everyone.

Ben McCullough, who completed the marathon in 2025, said: “Running the marathon in honour of my dad, who has suffered three TIA strokes, made every step worthwhile. Seeing his face at the finish line is a moment I’ll never forget.”

Join #TeamNICHS and make every mile matter for the 470,000 people in Northern Ireland living with a chest, heart or stroke condition — that’s 1 in 4 of us.
