On 29 March 2026, the Omagh Half Marathon & 5K returns as one of Northern Ireland’s biggest spring road races, known for strong local support and a lively race-day buzz. Runners can choose the classic 21.1 km half marathon or the shorter 5K, with both routes based around the Omagh Leisure Complex for easy logistics and a central finish-line atmosphere. The course is entirely on tarmac roads, mixing wider urban stretches with neighbourhood turns and mild rises that keep pacing honest without turning it into a hill-fest. With chip timing, a big-field feel, and a community-driven volunteer crew, it’s a popular target for early-season fitness checks and PB attempts alike.
