The Belfast course is a double lap which takes you on a journey through the beautiful Stormont Estate. The route includes stunning views of the Carson Statue and Stormont Building when descending Prince of Wales Avenue. The route then winds round the paths by the playpark and bullring, before a short incline back to the event site. The route covers a mix of terrain including gravel pathways, road and grass. There is one steep incline as soon as you leave the event site as part of your challenge.
Please remember to bring your own water bottle already filled as there will be no bottled water provided at events. There will be a water refill station 1/2 around the course and a ScottishPower water refill station will be available to use at the finish.
