T2526-050 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT FOR THE HALF MARATHON

Introduction

The Lisburn Half Marathon Event is a road race programme consisting of three races: Half Marathon, 10K and Fun Run. The event will take place on 3rd Wednesday of June each year starting at 6.30pm and finishing at approximately 9.30pm. The awarded tenderer will be dedicated to the event on the evening from 4.00pm until the finish of the event.
