Long Pacer Run with Charles Hurst Pacing Team
The Long Pacer Run serves as a training event held a few weeks prior to the Phoenix Energy Belfast City Marathon. Organized in conjunction with the Charles Hurst Pacing Team, the event takes place at Ormeau Park and utilizes portions of the marathon route.
Participants have the opportunity to cover 20 miles of the city marathon course. This training session allows runners to familiarize themselves with the pacing team and the specific speeds they intend to maintain during the full marathon.
The event offers several pacing groups to accommodate different target finish times. Runners can choose to join teams aiming for the following marathon goals:
- 3 hours
- 3 hours 15 minutes
- 3 hours 30 minutes
- 3 hours 45 minutes
- 4 hours
- 4 hours 15 minutes
- 4 hours 30 minutes

The run provides experience on the marathon course and allows for practice at a consistent pace. Tickets for this training event are free of charge, though online registration is required. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
