Around 50 runners dressed as the character from the children’s puzzle book series ‘Where’s Wally’ will be easily spotted among the record 5,500 participants in the 2024 Moy Park Belfast City Marathon.

Seasoned marathon runners will be familiar with the dress-up gang from East Antrim Marathon Series (EAMS) who bring a touch of colour to the event every year with their matching character costumes.
