Moy Park Belfast City Marathon 2024: Traffic Update

The 2024 Moy Park Belfast City Marathon will see a record 5,500 taking to the streets of Belfast, making it the BIGGEST marathon in the city's history.

The race will start at Stormont at 9am and finish in Ormeau Park tomorrow (Sunday 5th May 2024).

The Marathon route runs through all 4 areas of Belfast; North, South, East and West, starting at Stormont Estate and finishing in Ormeau Park.

As thousands of participants prepare to take part across the Marathon Run and Wheelchair Race, Team Relay and 8 Mile Walk, we thought we'd share a traffic update for those visiting the city on Sunday.

There will road/traffic disruption across the city throughout the morning and early afternoon. Motorists are asked to follow diversion signs and take direction from stewards on the route.
