The countdown is on at at the time of posting, there are only 39 days left until the running of the Belfast city marathon.
Sponsored by Deep RiverRock the run which takes place on the 4th May, is expected to host over 15,000 runners. The final cut-off point for enteries is 17th April so if by some chance you are fit and well and capable of making it through the gruelling 26 miles, you can still sign up.
The race starts at the City Hall and finishes in the Ormeau Park on a route that will take runners into all the major parts of the city.
Good luck one an all.

As you would expect, sport is huge in Belfast and throughout Northern Ireland. From the noise and excitement of the JJB Premiership Football, the spills and thrills of the GAA, the school of hard knocks in Rugby and not forgetting the cool headed Belfast Giants, Belfast and Northern Ireland have a lot to offer.
To help you with your search for these games, to find teh stadiums, to get your tickets and join in on the fun, we have added a new page which you can access from the main menu of our website called SPORTS (it didn’t take long to come up with that).
So if you represent a sport, a club, an activity that is not represented, then drop us a line at editor@snapshotbelfast.com. Send us some details and we will make an update, it is that simple.
