North Belfast Harriers Junior Report Sunday 5th – 12th November 2023

Following a busy and successful day in Donegal last Saturday for the juniors, they are taking a well-deserved break with a very quiet week, apart from park runs to keep up the momentum in between the big X Country Championships.

Waterworks Junior Park Run

A very wet November morning at the waterworks junior park run today. We had a great turn out with 12 of our juniors turning up to stretch their legs in between races. Great running everyone!

Well done everyone who braved the elements to run and a special mention to Ariane Lidster on her first park run and a new PB of 12.54.

Future Events

We have a number of our juniors who qualified from the Bobby Rea memorial race who will be taking part in the Irish Championships in Gowran Demesne on Sunday 19th November. Good to luck to everyone running.

Malcolm Cup on the Sunday 26th November at the Dub Playing Fields may give the juniors a good opportunity to stretch their legs and compete between the championships. Athletes can be entered through SiEntries.

After a successful Ulster Championships in Donegal last weekend, we have 18 athletes qualified for Navan on Sunday 3rd December. Please make sure you have informed Seamus of those intending to compete. Excel sheet is in the training group chat.

Club reminders

Please remember bright, warm clothing for all juniors attending training on Tuesday and Thursday at the track.

Also, a call for help with lights for putting up and taking down spotlights at Tuesday and Thursday training sessions. Please contact Seamus or Margaret if you can help.
