Thousands of runners have set off from Stormont for the Belfast City Marathon.
It's the first time ever the race has been held on a Sunday; a decision which has made some churches unhappy.
Reverend David McIlveen says many parishioners are disappointed:
However other churches on the marathon route have opened their doors and set up stalls outside to support runners.
