Date: 3 May 2026
General public relay entries are now sold out - only charity places available. We are delighted to offer a very limited number of charity relay team places for the Phoenix Energy Belfast City Marathon Relay 2026
The Team Relay follows the same route as the main Belfast City Marathon and is a non-comptitive, team-based event, ideal for friends, family and community groups.
- Team can consist of 4 or 5 team members
- Five relay legs, each approximately 4 - 7.5 miles (distances are approximate and may vary slightly on the day)
- Changeover points are spread across the route
Full event details, includeing the route and relay legs can be viewed on the official event website
Fundraising & Registration
Rather than charging a registration fee, we ask teams to commit to a minimum team fundraising target of £800 - this typically works out at around £200 per runner for a team of four or £160 per runner for a team of five. Fundraising pages are set up automatically once a team is provisionally allocated a place.
To keep things on track, we would usually expect around £400 per team to be raised by mid March 2026 and charity places are only released once fundraising is clearly underway.
How places are allocated
Because charity places are very limited, teams are asked to share a brief outline of their fundraising plans when enquiring. This helps us allocate places fairly and ensures teams are well supported to reach their fundraising goals.
