This year, some of the staff and friends of the Crescent have put together a team to run in the Belfast City Marathon as a fundraiser for the refurbishment project.
The marathon takes place on the 4th May, 2009 and our team will be covering a combined 26 miles across the whole city, passing by the current Crescent building on the Ormeau Road on the final stretch to the finish line at Ormeau Park.
If you’d like to contribute to the team’s fundraising efforts, have a look at their sponsorship page on Justgiving. Also, please pass the address along to anyone you think might be interested:

UPDATE 5th May 2009:
With a total time of 4:14:26, the Crescent Relay Team crossed the finish line in Ormeau Park, finishing 958th out of over 2,000 relay teams. In addition to that, they successfully beat their fundraising target of £1,000! Our thanks to everyone who donated to their campaign!
