ROAD CLOSURES
In line with road closure legislation, a road closure order has been applied for with Belfast City Council for the Moy Park Belfast City Marathon and so motorists should expect some disruption. Motorists are asked to follow diversion signs and take direction from stewards on the route.
Roads will start to close wholly or partially from around 6am until 4:30pm approximately. Although once participants have passed points on the route, reopening of the roads will be managed as quickly as possible.
