2026 Belfast City Marathon
Team Relay
Date: Sunday 3rd May 2026
Time: 9am
Start: Stormont Estate (Prince of Wales Avenue)
Finish: Ormeau Park
Entry Requirements: The event is open to teams of two to five people and teams can be all-male, all-female or mixed. Participants must be over 16 years old to enter. All teams must complete the Team Relay in less than 6 hours.
The Team Relay follows the same route as the main Marathon Race and the Wheelchair Race. This event is perfect if you are exploring an interest in running as there are ‘legs’ of the marathon route ranging from approximately 4 to 7.5 miles. As the name suggests, this is very much a "team" based event rather than competitive. More often than not friends, work colleagues or schools will form a team and raise much needed funds for charity.

5th May - 30th December (midnight) |
| STANDARD RATE | £150 |
1st January - 4th April (midnight) |
