Q1. When and why did you first take up running? A friend asked me to run a relay leg for a charity team in the Belfast Marathon in 2011. My previous run was the 1994 relay so I had to be convinced! On our first training run we couldn’t make it to the first roundabout…
Q1. When and why did you first take up running? 2014 Belfast Marathon Relay, a month or so before I offered to run the glory leg as someone in work was injured. We had 3 teams, so I had 2 other last leg runners to train with. We all said that we would then go…
Q1. When and why did you first take up running? When I retired in March 2016 my daughter Catherine told me “Right pops no laying around you need to keep active” and she entered Anne and me into the Newtownabbey C25k. I thought at the time it was mad to go out running and sometimes…
Q.1 When and why did you first take up running? I didn’t really intend to take up running, it kind of found me. In 2015 I was living away from home and was looking for something to do in my spare time. Power walking was very popular at the time so I decided to give…
Q1 When and why did you first take up running? I think it was 2012, a friend got me into a sport called ‘hunting the clean boot’.

Q.1 When and why did you first take up running? After my second child in 2014, it seemed like a good way to lose some weight! After my first Couch to 5k run with podcast, I realised I probably needed a better pair of trainers than the ones I still had from doing PE at…
We are very nearly out of the dark nights and I for one cannot wait – although it hasn’t stopped the hardy Harriers and they continue to plod around the ‘not the bermuda triangle’ of Glengormley or crawl up and down the hills of Mallusk …..some even choose to run 50k from castle to castle!!…
Eleanor Roosevelt said “Well-behaved women rarely make history”. I can only say that we must be one history making club. A couple of late results off the vidiprinter last week from Malta. The results of the Malta jury were: Half Marathon – Neil HOTM Campbell 1:23:50 and Marathon – Jay Scott 4:59:46 Taking the parkruns…
On Feb 29th 2012, construction was completed on the Tokyo Skytree, the tallest tower in the world. On Feb 29th 2020, Ian Simpson and the Harriers took over the Valley parkrun, changed the route and survived. Not sure which was the more impressive organisational feat but I know which one involved the most Guinness. Taking…
“I love the feeling of the fresh air on my face and the wind blowing through my hair” So said modern philosopher, and all round deep thinker, Evil Knievel (look him up kids). But he had a motorbike and didn’t live in Mallusk. And should he not have been wearing a helmet? Anyway… Taking on…
