8/6/22 Memorial Run
County Antrim Harriers turned out in force tonight, for a Memorial Run in memory of their member Niall Robinson who sadly passed away last month. After a minutes silent members ran together over a 4 mile route.
Niall was a committed and enthusiastic club member, regularly taking part in training, a fighter through adversity, and was always on hand to support other runners with a motivational word or by simply dropping back to run at their pace. He will be very much missed.
The turnout was a testament to the respect in which Niall was held by the Club.
