I’m interested in running for cats!

The Antrim Coast Half Marathon on 23 August 2026 is one of the most scenic races in Northern Ireland, on a breathtaking course along the Antrim Coastline.

Starting on Glenarm Road by Larne Town Park, the flat and fast 13.1 mile course sweeps into Larne harbour and through Larne town before moving onto the world famous Antrim Coast Road.

How much do I have to raise? 

For the Antrim Coast half marathon, there is a registration fee of £10 and we ask for a minimum sponsorship commitment of £300.

To qualify for a charity space at the Antrim Half Marathon, all supporters must have raised a minimum of £50 by 17th July 2026.
