Centra Run Together 5k & 10k, Ormeau Park 2024

Exciting news! Centra Run Together is back and better than ever! Lace up your running shoes and join us on Sunday, 20th October, at Ormeau Park in Belfast for an unforgettable 5K and 10K charity event. Not only will you have a blast getting fit, but you’ll also be supporting Action Cancer and helping keep its Big Bus mobile detection unit on the road.

Centra Run Together has been going from strength to strength since 2016, raising a total amount of £103,516.27, providing 862 local women with breast screening appointments. 2023 was our biggest event to date, welcoming 1600 participants to Ormeau Park and raising a phenomenal £33,000 for Action Cancer. With your help, we hope to surpass this figure this year and continue to support the Big Bus and the lifesaving services it provides in our local communities.

For a small entry fee, with every penny going directly to Action Cancer, you'll get a whole lot more than just a race. Every participant will receive a free T-shirt, a goodie bag, a bespoke Centra Run Together medal, a free lunch, and a delicious Frank and Honest Coffee. Plus, enjoy food samples including Moo’d Ice Cream and much more. And don’t forget the fantastic family entertainment!

Mark your calendars for Sunday, 20th October, and join us at Ormeau Park for a day filled with fun, fitness, and community atmosphere. By participating, you’ll be helping Action Cancer provide essential services like breast screening, skin cancer detection, and health checks to people across Northern Ireland.
