Run for NICHS & LQ BID will fund your £160 participation fee
Belfast City Marathon tickets are now sold out! And only 500 relay team tickets remain…
So if you are planning to take part, time is of the essence! The good thing is that if you work in the Linen Quarter Business Improvement District, we will refund your participation fee if you agree to run in support of our Charity Partner, Northern Ireland Chest, Heart & Stroke.
This will save your team £160, and should remove any barrier to getting you signed up in the coming days.
