The Belfast City Marathon team are hopeful that this #BCMHealthMonth will inspire you to take part in their 2023 events in aid of official charity partner, Air Ambulance NI. In a bid to turn the streets of Belfast red with Air Ambulance NI running vests, event organisers are encouraging you to support the local charity which attends some of the most traumatic medical incidents across the province and are dedicated to delivering the very best possible pre-hospital critical care, both at the scene and whilst transferring the patient to the most appropriate hospital for their specific injuries.

Or take on the celebratory 10th staging of the Mash Direct Belfast City Half Marathon on Sunday 17th September. Remember, when you run, they fly!
