Prisoners to run their own Belfast Marathon for charity
Maghaberry Prison

TWENTY prisoners are to run in the Belfast Marathon on Sunday – along their own course in Maghaberry Prison to raise money for charity.

Administrators of the Belfast Marathon have measured an official course inside the maximum-security facility for the prisoners to complete the 26.2 miles, as thousands of runners take to Belfast’s streets.

The 20 prisoners, aged from 22 to 71, will make up four relay teams for the run.
