The 44^th Belfast City Marathon returned on Sunday 3 May, and once again delivered everything that makes it such a special occasion.

Thousands of participants, spectators and an electric atmosphere made it a weekend to remember.

Marking the first year of the partnership, Kukri was proud to be at the heart of the event as official kit and merchandise partner, supplying official kit for participants and staff across the marathon and team relay, as well as the 10k and half marathon taking place later in the year.

Official Event Merchandise

Kukri’s official merchandise range for the event included a women’s running vest, a unisex polo shirt, a 1/4 zip lightweight tech top and a full zip hoodie – each bringing together technical performance fabrics and sharp styling.

The range was designed for participants of all levels and available to staff and runners alike.

The merchandise was also available to purchase across the weekend at the event expo, where it was met with a hugely positive reaction from participants and spectators.

In Their Own Words

Commenting on the event, Neil Patterson, Country Manager for Northern Ireland & Republic of Ireland, said “To be part of such a fantastic occasion at the Belfast City Marathon is something we’re immensely proud of.

“Seeing participants cross that finish line was great to see, and we are honoured to have played our part in making their experience one to remember.”

Claire O’Neill, Chief Executive at Belfast City Marathon, added “Our partnership with Kukri Sports continues to go from strength to strength, and we are delighted to introduce the new clothing range.

“The new collection reflects a modern, high-quality design that combines performance, comfort, and style, ensuring participants, volunteers, and supporters are represented in a professional and unified way throughout the event.”

Kukri continues to build on its reputation as a trusted partner for all sports across Ireland, delivering kit and solutions that combine quality, performance and pride.
