An epic tussle unfolded as some fantastic achievements last month earned deserved recognition. Harriers voted in their numbers for those who either shone at training, raced faster, or completed one of the ultimate tests of endurance. Here are the Runner of the Month nominees for July: Dawn Blain drew praise for how her hard work…
Galvanised by the return of parkrun and increasing races, Harriers stepped up to the mark in June with some sparkling runs and gritty performances. A flurry of PBs, hiking in the mountains and a battle back from injury woes all caught the eye.So without further ado, here are the Runner of the Month nominees and…
It is hard to believe that our last Runner of the Month award was back in November! Thankfully as restrictions begin to ease and we can get back to training and racing, we can also get back to honouring the efforts put in by members each month. There was definitely no shortage of effort throughout…
Mallusk Harriers were one of three local community groups that were part of the Co-Op’s Local Community Fund. The fund helps pay for local projects that Co-Op members care about. Every 1% of what they spend on selected own-branded products and services goes to help fund community projects. The final total for Mallusk Harriers is…
It’s Dark in the Morning, its Dark in the Evening…..Winter is coming and the restrictions remain but the Mallusk Harriers crazy crew are not letting that stop them from dusting off the hi-viz, putting the trainers on and getting the miles in the legs…..even though very few of us have anything to train for! …
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!!…

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…
Apologies for the delay this week but I didn’t think it was right to issue the report without including the junior results from yesterday. Just as important as the seniors. And better in many cases! Back to just one parkrun a week. Thankfully. But we had bigger and better things to think about this week…
