An iconic race in Hillsborough
The races kick off amidst the picturesque grounds of Hillsborough Castle, leading participants through the surrounding forest areas of Hillsborough.
Along the way, runners will pass by notable landmarks like Hillsborough Fort and Hillsborough Lake. For the half marathon and 10k, the route extends onto Ballynahinch road before re-entering the Castle grounds to conclude at the event village.
Distinctive distance flags mark each mile, and a dedicated team hospice cheerleaders ensures you stay on course while providing encouragement to propel you towards the finish line.
