Minimum sponsorships
Belfast City Marathon
For an individual marathon place, the target is £500, with £250 raised by mid-March 2027.
Belfast City Marathon Relay
For a Team Relay place, the team target is £800. That is around £200 each in a team of four or £160 each in a team of five. We would usually expect £400 per team by mid-March 2027.
How places are allocated
Because charity places are very limited, individuals and teams are asked to share a brief outline of their fundraising plans when enquiring. This helps us allocate places fairly and ensures everyone is well supported to reach their fundraising goals.
Charity places are only released once fundraising is clearly underway.
Fundraising pages are set up automatically once an individual or team has been provisionally allocated a charity place.
