Join us for St Patrick’s Day 2025 and you will see thousands of runners ‘back for the Craic’ as the SPAR Craic 10k road race returns in its full green glory to the streets of Belfast.

This is an inclusive, fun event which attracts all levels of runners from across the island and beyond. SPAR Craic 10k is Belfast’s premier urban run. As we take to the road again, we issue the warm, Irish welcome of ‘céad míle fáilte — come along for the Craic’.

Taking part in this challenge is not only an incredible personal achievement but you’ll also be helping us to give vulnerable children a safe and happy childhood. We'll support you every step of the way.
