Event Overview

The Phoenix Energy Belfast City Half Marathon is the largest half marathon event in Northern Ireland. The race takes place in Belfast, the capital city, providing participants with a course that passes several notable municipal and cultural landmarks.

Course Details

The route begins and ends at Ormeau Park, which is the oldest municipal park in the city. Runners follow a path through the capital that includes views of several historic sites:

  • The Harland and Wolff Cranes
  • Custom House Square
  • Belfast City Hall

Participation and Registration

The event offers a distance of 21.1 km (half marathon). While general public entry typically sells out quickly, participants may still access the event through charity places by fundraising for participating organizations.

Participants are required to collect their race packs in person at the event expo. This collection takes place at the ICC Belfast on the Saturday preceding the race. Race packs are not sent via postal services. The event facilitates both unaffiliated runners and registered members of athletics clubs.
