The Waterside Half Marathon was to alternate with the Strabane-Lifford Half Marathon from 2024.
Changing a half marathon in Londonderry from being run every year to every other year may be reconsidered.
The council's annual budget for the two half marathons had decreased by £26,000 and without that required funding the events would need to alternate, councillors had been told.to alternate the races and raised concerns that runner numbers could drop as a result. "Every effort will be made to increase participant numbers and if registrations could open as early as November 2023 it would allow this to be monitored closely in advance of the rates process," she said.
Additionally, a proposal that the Strabane-Lifford Half Marathon added a relay race to help provide an additional revenue stream would also be considered.
