The Belfast City Half Marathon is Northern Ireland's largest half marathon, run each September in Belfast. It starts and finishes on Ormeau Embankment and covers all four areas of the city: north, south, east and west. The route passes the Harland and Wolff cranes, Custom House Square and City Hall. Runners have three hours to finish. As of 2026 the half marathon runs as a standalone event, separate from the Belfast City Marathon weekend, which has moved to a new May date at Stormont.
