Course information
The Belfast course takes you on a journey through the beautiful Stormont Estate. The route includes stunning views of the Carson Statue and Stormont Building when ascending Prince of Wales Avenue. The route then turns downhill before re-entering the woodland paths, passing the Bullfield and following the tree line back into the Pavilion playing fields. The route covers a mix of terrain including gravel pathways, road and grass. There is one steep incline as part of your challenge.
Please bring a reusable water bottle with you if you require water during the event, as there will only be water available at the finish.
Meeting point
The start and finish lines are situated on the cricket pavilion at NICSSA Sport and Leisure.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we’ll be operating a staggered start time in 2021 to ensure your safety on event day. Additional start times may become available as/when needed.
