Belfast City Marathon: Weekend weather forecast as thousands of runners prepare to take to the streets

Thousands will take to the streets of Belfast this weekend for the annual Belfast City Marathon.

And while the gruelling training is coming to an end, focus will be shifting to other prep, what to eat, attire, and the weather forecast.

It's not looking too bad for those who'll be taking part this weekend. It does forecast for some chance of rain, but temperatures will remain in the teens, with 13C forecast for 10am. A Met Office spokesperson said: "Heavy showers are likely on Saturday and Sunday, with perhaps some longer spells of rain later Sunday. A drier brighter day is expected on Monday. Mostly light winds."

Don’t forget if you’re running this weekend, we’ll be first place with all the official marathon results and verified times on Sunday evening, so keep an eye on our social channels. We’ll send a text message to all runners on Sunday evening once the results are live.

We’ll also have all your race day coverage from announcing the winners and interviews with runners, to lots of photos and all the action from race day. We’ll be live on Facebook at the start line and finish line so keep an eye and you might spot someone you know as they take off to complete the Mash Direct Belfast City Marathon.

Good luck to all participants!
