The Marconi Run returns for 2023, and with a slight change to the previous route, it will be a five mile run for the first time ever when participants can take on the challenge while enjoying the natural beauty of the County Antrim coast.


This week organisers unveiled the bespoke medal for this year's event featuring the iconic landmark of Fairhead, and will be guaranteed to the first 150 entrants registered when they cross the finish line!



The annual much enjoyed event will take place on the North Antrim coast, beginning at Ballycastle Tennis Courts on Sunday 28 May at 11am.

"We’ll also have prizes for our top three male and female finishers, along with age category prizes from 35-40 up to 70 plus".
