Ormeau 5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer

25/07/2026

What a wonderful morning we had at 5K Your Way Belfast! 💙

We’re still counting, but over 60 people joined us at to walk, jog, volunteer or simply cheer everyone on – with many attending for the very first time. 🙌

Some people came along just to find out what 5K Your Way is all about so they can better support a friend or loved one going through cancer. What an incredibly thoughtful thing to do. 💙

A huge thank you, as always, to our fantastic hosts and our friends for their ongoing support each month.

📅 We’re back on 29th August – consider this your personal invitation! Whether you’re living with or beyond cancer, supporting someone who is, or simply want to find out more, we’d love to see you there.

Reminder! 🌟

You’re invited to join us this Saturday for 5k Your Way at Ormeau parkrun (Annadale entrance), meeting at 9:20am 💚

Whether you choose to walk, jog or run, you can do as much or as little of the 5k as you like.

Not taking part? You can still get involved by volunteering with our amazing hosts at Ormeau parkrun.

Afterwards, everyone is welcome to join us for coffee, buns and a chat. ☕🍰

It’s Belfast Pride weekend 🌈 so it’ll be a busy one in the city, but we’d love to see you there

And remember – you don’t have to have had cancer to come along. Cancer affects all of us, whether you’ve had a diagnosis yourself, are supporting someone you love, or have lost someone to cancer.

Everyone is welcome 🤗

Come along, meet some lovely people, and start your Saturday the best way.

We can’t wait to see you! 🌈💚

Come and join us this Saturday morning! Our wonderful hosts Ormeau parkrun are celebrating their 13th birthday!

Remember there is limited parking due to Belsonic.

Join us at the 5KYW blue flag 9:20 to walk, run or cheer & do as much or as little of the route as you like! And of course join us for cake & refreshments afterwards!

DM for further info or if you’d like some company on the morning!

Ormeau parkrun is turning 13 — come celebrate with us! 🥳🎈

Thirteen years of Saturday mornings, friendly faces and laps round Ormeau Park — now that deserves a wee celebration. Here’s what’s happening this weekend:

Dress code: Wear your parkrun milestone t-shirt or running club colours and help brighten up the park., 👕

BYO birthday picnic: Lots of the core team are away, so we’re keeping it relaxed. Bring a flask, a bun, cake, chair, camping table or picnic blanket — whatever helps you stay for a post-parkrun banter. 🍯🥐🍰

Birthday gift: The only present we’re asking for is volunteers. Ormeau parkrun simply couldn’t happen without them, so if you’ve been thinking about giving it a go, this is the perfect week. Drop us a message or email us to get on the roster. 🎁🎁🎁

See you Saturday for a run, walk, volunteer stint or cheer — and a bit of craic to mark 13 brilliant years of Ormeau parkrun.

🎉 Huge congratulations from everyone at 5K Your Way to Ann on being awarded a BEM in the King’s Birthday Honours List 2026! 👏👑

This prestigious honour recognises Ann’s outstanding services to women living with breast cancer, and we couldn’t be more delighted for her.

Ann’s advocacy has been truly remarkable. She was instrumental in delivering Northern Ireland’s metastatic breast cancer audit report – the first of its kind to track and improve care for people living with secondary breast cancer.

A passionate advocate for 5K Your Way and the belief that movement is medicine, Ann champions our community wherever she goes.

This June, she is also taking on the incredible challenge of completing 100km in 30 days to raise vital funds for life-saving cancer awareness, education and support services across Ireland.

We are immensely proud and privileged to have Ann as an ambassador for 5K Your Way Belfast. Her dedication, compassion and determination continue to inspire so many.

Please join us in congratulating Ann on this fantastic and thoroughly deserved achievement! 💙💚🎉

Sorry for the lack of notice about the parking issue this morning, folks. Great to see a good turnout anyway (even with the damp start). See yas in a month, have a movey June in the meantime.

It’s that time of year again folks! There will be no parking on the gravel pitches from now until at least the end of June due to Belsonic setup. There will likely be no access to Parkrun start line via Ozone either during this period-please use the other (pedestrian) access gates to the park on
> one at Ormeau Embankment at the corner of Ravenhill Road
> 3 on Ravenhill Road
> 2 on Park Road
> 2 on Ormeau Road

Consider this an opportunity to walk, jog or cycle to parkrun! If you do need to drive please car share where possible & please park with consideration for local residents.

We were recently contacted and asked to share this research with our community - particularly female runners.

👟 Women Who Run Together: How Support, Motivation and Life Circumstances Shape Physical Activity Levels in Women from Belfast 👟

This research project is exploring women’s experiences of running in Belfast, with the aim of improving participation in group-based running initiatives and supporting women’s physical activity in Belfast moving forward.

The survey is searching for female runners who are:

🏃‍♀️ 18+
🏃‍♀️ Live in Belfast
🏃‍♀️ Have taken part in Couch to 5K, parkrun, a running club, or another group-based running activity in the last 12 months

The study is being carried out by Professor Ruth Lowry and Michael Lamont from the School of Psychology at the University of Ulster, and has received ethical approval from the University of Ulster Research Ethics Committee.

It’s a short, anonymous online questionnaire and should only take around 10–15 minutes to complete.

If you’d like to take part (or know someone who might), you can access the survey here:
