The race is run for Ask an Architect

14 May 2024

The six RSUA relay teams and one full marathon runner enjoyed near perfect conditions for the Belfast City Marathon on Sunday 5 May 2024 as they glided round the undulating course, building awareness of the Ask An Architect initiative and raising funds for the Friends of the Cancer Centre.

Martin Lennon of Todd Architects completed the full 26.2 miles in just over 4 hours leaving his colleagues in Todd Relay Team 2 in his wake.

MOR Architects were Team Champions this year amongst the Ask An Architect cohort, crossing the finish line in 3hrs 42mins and just pipping Todd Team 1 to the RSUA gold medal (Ingredients: 40% cocoa solids).

RSUA Director Ciarán Fox expressed his thanks to everyone who took part, and for all those who supported and sponsored the runners along the way. The team names below are linked to the fundraising pages which remain open at the time of posting for any last minute sponsors.
