McKinney Games is proud to announce a new partnership with Air Ambulance Northern Ireland in the lead-up to the Festival of Running, taking place on Saturday 4th October 2025 at the Eikon Exhibition Centre, Lisburn.

This large-scale community fitness event offers something for everyone, with a wide range of race options including a 1K, 5K, 10K, half marathon, full marathon and even a 20-mile challenge. Whether you’re a casual jogger or a seasoned runner, there’s a challenge to suit you, plus a share of a £100,000 prize pot up for grabs!

Air Ambulance NI is honoured to be a beneficiary of this exciting new initiative, which is expected to draw thousands of participants from across the region.

Kerry Anderson, Head of Fundraising at Air Ambulance NI, shared:

“We are thrilled to be the chosen charity for this fantastic new event organised by McKinney Games. Every runner taking part will play a role in saving lives, brains, and limbs across Northern Ireland. We’re deeply grateful to McKinney Games and to every participant, your support truly helps us keep the helicopter flying and the critical care team responding.”
