The 41st edition of one of Ireland’s longest running athletics events, the Waterside Half Marathon, will take place on Sunday, September 1, and is set to be the biggest in its history with an expanded field and a number of new features.
Event organisers Derry City and Strabane District Council have confirmed that the new footbridge linking Bay Park to Derry’s quayside will be part of a revised route that will be announced in the coming weeks.
The cost of entry is £27 per runner or £70 for a three-person relay team.
Every finisher will receive a commemorative medal and t shirt.
Almost 2,000 runners have already registered for the event which sold out weeks in advance last year.
