Just playing ‘Dunk The Apple’… The fireworks began at the Valley parkrun, as we had 14 runners, some dressed up for the fun and frolics of the Halloween party. We had witches, clowns, 118 callers and more notably ‘Bros’ (Right Said Fred pfffff)… first across the line was our own Gavin Knipe in a time…
For everything else there’s a Mallusk Harriers Card… Folk passing the week’s parkrun at the Valley could have been forgiven for thinking December had arrived, as they came across 20+ crazy runners in Santa suits; a little early perhaps… Indeed the Mallusk Harriers’ runners, along with our newest Harrier Nuala Muldoon, were helping promote the…
Lazy winter mornings… So the only excuse I can offer for the late report this week is, as the winter mornings begin to get colder and darker by the hour and I seem to be leaving for work later each day, it just seems I have lost a day somewhere on the way… On a…
From deepest, darkest Peru… With the Runher event taking place on the Sunday, a smaller contingency took to the parkrun events, with many of our runners partaking in the Waterworks event. Armed with a suitcase, an overcoat and a note to take care, 10 happy Harriers took Paddy ’Ton’ McGuckin to the park for a…

Things are starting to get a bit heavy… With the running a little lighter on the ground for the past week, this allowed for the first of many training weekends… training…? Armed with sleeping bags and all, 27 of our Harriers took to the Share centre in Lisnaskea, to enjoy a run with a difference….
In 2014 the Mallusk Harriers had no more than a handful of members on our books, with 6 entries in the Laganside 10K race. So what could be so different in 2015…? Primarily we would like to thank North Belfast Harriers for an amazing family day out for all our athletes to compete in the…
Harriers I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore… A week on and as the storm has now settled from our club race, we can begin to draw breath and know that there is no place like home… well for most of us anyway… Our first traveller, Lauren Whitehouse was blown in the direction of…
In the midst of a perfect storm… Friday 21st August saw 208 competitors from 32 athletic clubs come together for the 2nd annual Mallusk Harriers 5 mile road race, in what could be said perfect weather conditions for the run. Last year’s winner, Brian Campbell (Willowfield Harriers), who it must be said has been in…
