Belfast City Marathon are thrilled to bring a brand-new event to Belfast this weekend – the Almac Belfast City Women’s 10K.
The event sold out weeks ahead of the entry deadline, seeing 1,200 ladies aged 15 and over register for the 10K challenge.
The event was born out of passion and determination to welcome and empower women to celebrate their strength together and encourage fitness and wellbeing. Whether you'e a seasoned runner or just starting your fitness journey, this event is for everyone as it sees runners, joggers and walkers come together for the milestone challenge.
Local social media sensations Annalivia Hynds, India Sasha and Evanna Maxted are among those taking to the start line backing official charity partner, Cancer Focus NI. All monies raised will help to fund a range of women’s cancer support services across Northern Ireland.

A stunning flat and fast route has been devised for the debut staging of the event. Participants can expect a two lap course across Belfast’s iconic Titanic Quarter, soaking in sights of the H&W cranes, Titanic Belfast, SS Nomadic, and the Maritime Mile. There will be water, first aid and toilet provision available, not to mention a fantastic atmosphere guaranteed with entertainment points.
The event starts at 10am on Queens Road and finishes on the Paddock Car Park, just beside Titanic Slipways. As a result, motorists can expect some disruption throughout the morning and early afternoon, although every attempt will be made to ensure that this is kept to a minimum.
The event organisers appreciate the impact and inconvenience of traffic disruption on, but ask that motorists please follow the traffic management measures and take direction from stewards to ensure safety for participants and road users alike.
We will be down at the titanic quarter with our iconic Belfast Live frame, Justin will be there capturing runners and spectators reactions on our TikTok channel and come find him for the chance to win a pair of tickets to Lizzo at Belsonic!
Belfast Live will have LIVE results available throughout the morning before anyone else. If you’re not running, jogging, walking or volunteering at the event, why not head down to the Titanic Quarter and cheer the ladies on.
There’s plenty for family and friends to explore in the Titanic Quarter, so why not make a day of it. For more info visit belfastcity10k.com
