St Patrick’s Day 2025 will see over four thousand runners ‘back for the Craic’ as the SPAR Craic 10k road race returns in its full green glory to the streets of Belfast.
The St Patrick’s Day race, which will again begin at City Hall and end at Ormeau Park, is part of the wider Belfast City Council efforts to create an all-inclusive celebration of the National Saints’ Day.
Founded in 2015 and shining a light on our common heritage, the SPAR Craic 10k In Belfast is now a staple of the St Patrick’s Day festivities, as traditional as Irish stew and shamrock.
An inclusive, fun event which attracts all levels of runners from across the island and beyond, SPAR Craic 10k is Belfast’s premier urban run. As we take to the road again, we issue the warm, Irish welcome of ‘céad míle fáilte — come along for the Craic’.
Entry fee includes a personalised bib, chip, medal, finish line refreshments and postage & packaging. (All bibs will be posted and there will be no in-person pack collection)
Our charity partner, Marie Curie will receive a £1 donation from every registration fee.
