Launching the event, the Mayor of Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, Councillor Andrew Gowan said: “The event is a firm favourite in the sporting calendar and continues to be recognised as a popular fixture amongst runners from across Northern Ireland and beyond. The 2023 event saw huge numbers taking to the streets of Lisburn resulting in the races selling out.

"With proceeds from all three events supporting the Mayoral Charity, it really is a great occasion to get moving together.”

Councillor Thomas Beckett, Chair of the Communities and Wellbeing Committee, added: “The Half Marathon, 10K Road Race and Fun Run have been firm favourites with runners and families for over 40 years now.

"This year’s event is once again being sponsored by the council’s Vitality Membership package, which offers individuals and families a diverse range of activities.

“I would like to encourage everyone to sign up today for the Half Marathon, 10K or Fun Run on 19 June and look forward to seeing many of you there on the night.”

To avail of the early bird rates, sign up online before April 30, 2024.
