FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Deep RiverRock Belfast City Marathon Pack Collection goes on tour
with Translink in 2021
Given restrictions this year due to the ongoing pandemic, the organisers of
the Deep RiverRock Belfast City Marathon are delighted to be able to
provide an alternative option to receive your race pack for their October
marathon event.
Official Transport Partner, Translink and Official Charity Partner, Cancer
Focus Northern Ireland will be going on tour with the Deep RiverRock
Belfast City Marathon to provide several pack collection opportunities at
park and ride locations, across the province.
On Saturday 11th September, the pack collection teams will be stopping at
two Translink park and ride locations - Toome and Ballymartin. Followed by
Sprucefield and Dundonald park and ride areas on Saturday 18th September.
David Cowan (Translink) said;
"As the Official Transport Partner of the Deep RiverRock Belfast City
Marathon, we are encouraging participants to let public transport be
another healthy move you make this year. As lockdown eases, more people
are choosing active travel by bus, coach and train and are making shorter
and less frequent car journeys to help improve the world around us. With
this in mind, we are delighted to offer participants of the 2021 Deep
RiverRock Belfast City Marathon the opportunity to pick up their race pack
at one of our easily accessible park and ride locations this September."
Participants are welcome to collect packs on behalf of friends and family
but must book their place in advance. For full details please visit
