Belfast City Half Marathon is now open

Organisers of the Deep RiverRock Belfast City Half Marathon are delighted to OPEN entries for their eighth event which takes place on Sunday September 20.

The event is an extension of the popular May Marathon event which moves into its 39th year on Sunday May 3. 

The Deep RiverRock Belfast City Half Marathon is the largest Half Marathon in Northern Ireland and has seen a massive growth, selling out for three years in a row. 

In 2020, around 6,000 are expected to take part in September, making it the events biggest year to date.

The popular Half Marathon course largely remains the same but has been developed this year to include a more scenic route through Botanic Gardens onto Stranmillis Embankment (taking out University Street). 

The start of the race on Ormeau Embankment will also move closer to the Ormeau Park, Ozone Leisure Centre entrance.

Full details of the route can be found on the event website at www.belfastcitymarathon.com.

Online entry through desktop and mobile is OPEN NOW for the 2020 Deep RiverRock Belfast City Half Marathon via the Eventmaster registration system at www.belfastcitymarathon.com

The final entry deadline will be at midnight on Friday September 4, 2020.

The Deep RiverRock Belfast City Half Marathon is sponsored by Athletics Northern Ireland, Daily Mirror, Belfast City Council, Better, Cool FM (Downtown Radio and Downtown Country), Translink, SPAR, Belfast Live, Framar Health, Decathlon Belfast, Tayto and Four Star Pizza. 

This year’s official charity is Cancer Focus Northern Ireland.
