Hear from previous participants

Oonagh Chesney from Portglenone did the 8-mile walk in 2021 along with her husband and other farming friends. 

“The 8-mile walk was perfect for us as farming families, an opportunity to take on a challenge, recharge the batteries away from the farm and raise funds for Air Ambulance NI.”

James Rogers – Full Marathon

‘In October 2021, I decided to take on the challenge of running Belfast City Marathon 2022 for Air Ambulance NI. I had previously ran the NYC Marathon back in 2016 and although I found it very tough as I had zero running experience, it didn’t put me off.

The new Belfast marathon route is faster and flatter, so I felt that it was a more achievable challenge. I wanted to support my local Air Ambulance as I have a real interest in all things aviation. I wanted to create a further awareness of the valuable work that Air Ambulance NI provides on a daily basis, while raising vital funds to support the service. I was delighted to be part of #TeamAANI and would encourage everyone to get their running shoes on and support your local Air Ambulance in 2023!’

Kathryn Knox – Team Relay

‘My father had an accident on our family farm in Broughshane in 2021, to which the Air Ambulance NI team attended. Thankfully my father is making a great recovery and I wanted to give something back to the Air Ambulance team for being there on the day and saving his arm. I also ride horses competitively, so I understand the real need for a service like Air Ambulance NI, as we never know when anyone one of us might need their assistance. Following my fathers’ accident, I chatted to some friends and family members and we decided to register a relay team for the Belfast City Marathon! We had a fantastic day – the weather was great, the event was so well organised and we all felt such a sense of achievement completing our legs of the race! We thoroughly enjoyed the event and would highly recommend the Belfast City Marathon to anyone thinking about taking on this challenge!’
