Press Release - Belfast City Marathon - 3/27/13

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

              Runners Urged to Start Line for Marathon Deadline

With the initial deadline for entry to the 2013 Deep RiverRock Belfast City 
Marathon looming large, those intending to run this year's event are being 
given an added incentive to sign up early.

With the event itself a little more than a month away, runners are being 
actively encouraged to join the growing number of participants before the 
first entry deadline of Friday April 5th.

Not only will entrants avoid a surcharge on their entry fee after that 
date, but they also will be able to have their name printed on their 
official Marathon T-shirt, for free.  This offer only applies to entries 
received by April 5th: just tick the 'Name Print' option on the entry form 
and your personalised shirt will be waiting for you at Registration, which 
once again takes place at City Hall in the weekend leading up to the May 
6th extravaganza.

Visit the Marathon's official website, www.belfastcitymarathon.com, for more 
information and online entry, or contact .

The Deep RiverRock Belfast City Marathon takes place on Monday May 6th and 
is sponsored by Athletics Northern Ireland, Belfast City Council, Daily 
Mirror, Podium 4 Sport, Saucony, Sport Northern Ireland, Tayto, Translink 
and U105.

This year's official charity is Cancer Focus Northern Ireland (the new name 
for the Ulster Cancer Foundation). Find out more on their work and how to
