SPAR Craic 10k 2026

Date: Tuesday 17 March 2026, starting at 9am

Venue: Starting at Belfast City Hall to Ormeau Park

Category: European City of Sport, St Patrick's

This St Patrick’s Day more than five thousand runners will once again take to the streets of Belfast for the SPAR Craic 10k.

Join a celebration of sport, community, and culture at the heart of the city’s festivities.

Beginning at Belfast City Hall and finishing in the vibrant atmosphere of Ormeau Park, the SPAR Craic 10k has grown since 2015 into a firm favourite. And while the event is famous for its sea of green t-shirts, wigs, and tutus, the organisers are committed to making the SPAR Craic 10k Ireland’s greenest urban run. 

While this event is now sold out, a late entry system is in place, and you can still come along and cheer on the runners ahead of the rest of the day’s festivities.
