As part of our work to promote sport and healthy lifestyles, we run two dedicated running events for Belfast primary schools.
The annual Belfast Schools Cross Country Championships take place in March and April 2025.
This annual event for P6 and P7 pupils has four local heats, held at parks throughout Belfast, which primary schools can enter.
A finals event is then held at Mallusk Playing Fields, with prizes awarded for the winning individual girls and boys, as well as teams.

| Primary School East Heat | Orangefield Park | Thursday 6 March |
| Primary School South Heat | Ormeau Park | Tuesday 11 March |
| Primary School West Heat | Boucher Road Playing Fields | Thursday 13 March |
| Primary School Belfast Final | Mallusk Playing Fields | Wednesday 2 April |
