The Moy Park Belfast City Marathon is one of the leading marathons in the UK and Ireland and is an AIMS certified race. Not to mention, the first and only marathon in Northern Ireland to join the World Athletics Label Road Race Series. There is an event to suit all levels of fitness on including a Marathon Run, Wheelchair Race, Team Relay and 8 Mile Walk, attracting over 15,000 participants annually.
The Moy Park 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 sells out year on year, now attracting 6,000 participants.
Participants across the events must visit the expo to collect their race number, t-shirt and bag, typically bringing friends and family in tow creating valuable footfall. The expo is free to attend and open to the public, runners, spectators and volunteers. With an expected attendance of over 20,000 for the marathon and 10,000 for the half marathon, the expo is a great place for any business ready to showcase to a large audience.
You’ll join title sponsor, Moy Park, alongside Linwoods Health Foods, Belfast Live, Cool FM and many others. The event team have a jam packed stage timetable lined up to include a pacer Q&A, a warm up session, a route run through, not to mention plenty of giveaways.

Partnering with the Belfast City Marathon and Belfast City Half Marathon has been an extremely helpful way to engage with participants and families, as well as wider audiences on race day.

We are delighted with our continued involvement with the Marathon events.”
