Calling All Charities - Purchase Charity Places Now

26 December 2025

calling all charities - purchase charity places now
Charities are invited to get involved in the 2026 Phoenix Energy Belfast City Marathon by becoming an official charity partner and offering supporters the opportunity to run while raising vital funds for meaningful causes.

By onboarding with the Belfast City Marathon team, charities can purchase a selection of marathon and team relay entries, which can then be allocated to individuals or teams committed to fundraising on their behalf. This approach allows charities to maximise fundraising potential, increase awareness, and engage supporters through one of Northern Ireland’s largest and most high-profile mass participation events.

Taking part in the Phoenix Energy Belfast City Marathon provides charities with a unique platform to connect with new and existing supporters, inspire fundraising efforts, and be represented on an iconic race day attended by thousands of participants and spectators.

Charity partners can choose how to distribute their allocated places, whether to experienced runners, first-time marathon participants, or relay teams made up of staff, volunteers, or supporters.

Charities interested in getting involved can onboard and purchase places via the Charity tab on our website.

We look forward to working with charities to help turn miles into meaningful impact at the 2026 Phoenix Energy Belfast City Marathon.
