Why take part?

The Red Dress Fun Run supported by Mace and Musgrave Marketplace brings together friends, families, children and even dogs for a fun filled day!

By taking part and fundraising, you will make a real and lasting difference to the lives of many people in your own community.

The Red Dress Fun Run supported by Mace and Musgrave MarketPlace continues to grow each year thanks to

❤️ Coronary heart disease is the biggest single cause of premature deaths (in people younger than 75) across NI

❤️ Heart disease kills nearly twice as many women in NI as cervix, uterus, ovary and breast cancer combined

❤️ 16 people have a heart attack every day in NI

Almost 90% of our income comes from public donations. This is why we need your help by taking part and fundraising, so we can continue supporting local people.

“After having a stroke at just 29 years old, the NICHS Family Support Co-ordinator was very positive and supportive of my recovery. They have called me to check in and I also attended one of the NICHS Young Stroke Support groups. It is reassuring talking to someone who understands what you are going through. To support the charity’s work my husband and I took part in the Red Dress Fun Run in 2024 and 2025, it’s a great day out.” - Alice Cinnamond
