#149: The NI running show preview with event director Oonagh Cattigan
About this episode
On 7th and 8th February 2026 there will be a brand new NI running show at the Eikon Centre.
Today's guest is the event's director Oonagh Cattigan. She has a background of many years putting on big events in England and is combining that with her passion for running.
Oonagh got into running through a local 5k after returning to Northern Ireland as a new mother and describes the amazingly positive mental benefits she gets from running.
We talk in detail about the plans for the NI running show, what to expect and how to get involved as well as Oonagh's first marathon experience and her planned second in Belfast next year.
