We're looking forward to seeing you at the Marie Curie Twilight Walk on Saturday 26 September at Mary Peters Track, Belfast!
Please ensure you have read this important information below before the event. If you have any queries please contact us at walkni@mariecurie.org.uk.
Parking
Due to health and safety concerns, the car park beside the Mary Peters track will be prioritised for those attendees who require an accessible car park and for event suppliers only.
There are limited parking spaces available in the upper carpark at Mary Peters track and ample parking only a short walk from the venue. We encourage participants to car share and please park with consideration to local residents.
Other nearby sites will be available for parking, including at:
- Fleming Fulton School, Malone Rd, BT9 6TY
- Glenveigh School, Haberton Park, BT9 6TX
- House of Sport (Public Parking)
Start time
The walk will start at 7.00pm but please join us from 6.30pm for a warmup with u105 radio and Fitness Freddy and a safety briefing!
What to bring
It is very important to bring a torch as it will be very dark on some sections of the route. Also, remember to wear suitable footwear and clothing for the weather. Please note some surfaces are uneven and walking along the tow path and up to Mary Peter's track it is especially important to be careful of your footing. After the walk as you are waiting for the fireworks to start you are welcome to bring picnic blankets and chairs.
Wristbands
You should receive a wristband in your welcome pack. Please complete the medical information on your wristband if we need to be aware of any medical conditions, allergies, or any medication you are on, otherwise leave this section blank. It is also important that all children wear a wristband. Extra wristbands will be available on the night.
Memory lanterns
You should also receive a memory lantern in your welcome pack. We encourage you to decorate these and bring them to the walk so they can be part of the lantern lane as the walk finishes. More lanterns will be available on the night.
Under 18s
Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times on the walk. If you are bringing any under 18s to the event they are your sole responsibility and please keep them close to you at all times. Wristbands for under 18s can be collected at registration. A consent form also needs to be completed for each under 18, please email walkni@mariecurie.org.uk or come to the reception desk on the night to complete this.
