The 2024 Newry City Half Marathon and 10k will both take place on Sunday 26th May. The Half will start at 10am and the 10k at 10:30am. Race numbers will be capped at 1000 for the Half and 600 for the 10k and both events are expected to sell out well in advance, so organisers Newry City Runners encourage everyone to enter early to avoid disappointment.
