The North Belfast Harriers Juniors had a busy week with the first road race of the season (Queens 3K). This was a great event on a flat course with the 5K race happening afterwards.

Schools Cross Country
Well done to our members Thomas, Cormac and Senan who ran for their school and came first and second and eighth in the Year 8 mini race. Declan McGinley and Dara Cassidy also came 7th and 9th in the Inter Race – great running guys. They all did their schools and club proud. Shout out to the NBH coaches who were there with the NBH tent protecting the less hardy parents from the heavy rain.

Numbers were low in the Junior Parkruns which undoubtedly was due to the clocks going forward. The 2K parkrun happens at 9:30 every Sunday morning and is a great and free event for the kids.

TAMHI
On a very wet Tuesday night’s training at the Boys Model we had a visit from TAMHI (Tackling Awareness of Mental Health Issues). This group help young people address all issues related to mental health. These are valuable lessons for our kids to learn and even through all the rain, the kids thoroughly enjoyed the visit and the various games which were played. We also received great feedback from parents.

Details of the Lagan Valley meets are here: https://athleticsni.org/download/files/FixtureList-TrackField220223.pdf. These are a great introduction to Track & Field and have always been very enjoyable in previous years.
Please note that the Girls Model is still closed for training (the running trace is being resurfaced). Training this week will continue at the Boys Model.
