17/3/20 📌 May Fair Races Cancelled
Sadly, due to the most recent Government and Athletics NI advice regarding Covid-19, County Antrim Harriers have decided to cancel their May Fair Races planned for 23 May.
With no time limit on how long this advice will be in place, and with severe fixture congestion, we hope the Races will return in May 2021. For all those who have already pre-registered, credit/debit cards will be refunded in due course.
We would like to thank our sponsors and entrants for their support of the May Fair Races, and hope they will continue to support our next event.
Keep safe and keep running.County Antrim Harriers
