The marathon has been a staple in the community, with this marking its 44th occurrence. The new relay format will allow teams to tackle the marathon together, making it more accessible for those who may not be ready for the full 26.2 miles.

Relay Leg Details:

• Leg 1: Stormont Estate to Montgomery Road (4.2 miles)
• Leg 2: Montgomery Road to Boucher Road (6.8 miles)
• Leg 3: Boucher Road to Falls Road (4.5 miles)
• Leg 4: Falls Road to Duncairn Gardens (5 miles)
• Leg 5: Duncairn Gardens to Ormeau Park (5.7 miles)

A shuttle bus service will operate from Annadale Embankment to various relay changeover points between 8:00am and 10:00am, ensuring smooth transitions for teams. Additionally, parking will be available at the Stormont Complex for free on marathon day, with discounted options at Q-Park and APCOA car parks.

Officials are excited about the changes, noting that all transport services for spectators and participants will be free—except for rail services—encouraging community involvement and support.

With thousands of participants expected, this new format could reshape how people engage with the marathon experience. The city is gearing up for what promises to be a vibrant event filled with camaraderie and competition.
