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 Half Marathon 2026.
The Belfast City Half Marathon is Northern Ireland's biggest half marathon event. The popular flat and fast race starts and finishes at Ormeau Park, running through the heart of Belfast and soaking up beautiful greenways and parks. The iconic race typically sells out, so enter early to avoid disappointment.
Fundraising & Registration
While there is no limit to how much you can raise, we encourage you to fundraise as much as you feel able, knowing that every donation helps make a meaningful impact.
How places are allocated
Because charity places are very limited, you are asked to share a brief outline of their fundraising plans when enquiring. This helps us allocate places fairly. We will review applications on a case by case basis.
Interested in taking part?
If you would like to be considered for a charity place, or would like to chat through the details, please get in touch to discuss availability and next steps.
