Runners are taking to Ormeau Park for a guided 10-kilometre Fleadh Fun Run as Belfast’s week of events continues.
Belfast City Council’s events listing records the run for Wednesday 5 August 2026, with the session scheduled from 4pm to 6pm. Places could be booked by participants joining the guided route through the south Belfast park.
The event forms part of the city’s Fleadh Belfast programme, adding an outdoor activity to a week otherwise strongly associated with traditional music, culture and community gatherings. By placing the run in Ormeau Park, organisers are using one of Belfast’s best-known open spaces as a setting for a participatory event during the festival programme.
The 10K format gives the event a clear distance while the guided structure means participants are running as part of an organised session rather than an informal gathering. The listing presents the run as a booked activity, allowing those taking part to plan around the late-afternoon start and early-evening finish.
Ormeau Park has long served as a venue for public events and recreation in the city, and the Fleadh Fun Run adds a sporting element to the wider programme taking place across Belfast. The timing places it in the middle of Fleadh week, giving participants another way to engage with the festival beyond performance venues and cultural events.
The run is one of the scheduled activities listed by the council during the Fleadh period. For those taking part, the focus is a guided 10K route through the park, held within a two-hour slot as Belfast’s festival programme continues.
