The Belfast City Marathon Management Team have confirmed that a new route will be in place for the race next year.
It's also been moved to the Sunday before the Bank Holiday in 2019 and will go ahead on the 5th of May.
Proposal one of the new route, which has been confirmed, is available to view on the Belfast City Marathon website https://www.belfastcitymarathon.com/.
Set to make history, this will be the first Belfast City Marathon ever held on a Sunday.
Organisers say the new route is expected to be very popular as it's flatter and faster and encompasses North, East, South and West of the City.
The 2019 event is expected to launch entries in early Autumn.
Updates and information about the event will be posted on the website - https://www.belfastcitymarathon.com/
