Hats off to the people of Belfast ! The atmosphere in the city today was fantastic. It's been years since we have seen such huge crowds of runners and supporters. 🖤💛 Congrats to all the Stags who competed in the relay & marathon today. Details in this week's Race Report.

For me, this is the image of the day at yesterday's Belfast City Marathon. An event that continues to go from strength to strength. A day of positivity and joy right cross the city. #Belfast

A day like no other in Belfast 😁challenged myself and had support from amazing crowds and my brilliant niece. Well done to anyone getting out there today, what an event!

Great to welcome the #FTDBrothers tonight 🤍 Jordan is taking on an incredible challenge - 32 marathons in 32 days, across all 32 counties of Ireland. All in support of the amazing fundraising he and Cian are doing in memory of their mum, Geraldine.

It was a great Irish Cup and here's some of the reasons why. Well played.

@plattmod Terrific game of football. ⚽️ 💙
