The North Belfast Harriers got the New Year off to a strong start by participating in a range of events ranging from Glenariff Forest to Tollymore Forest, with a few Parkruns thrown in for good measure.
Tues 1st Jan Race over the Glens
Three Harriers joined over 360 other athletes in the Race over the Glens hosted by Ballymena Runners. The six mile route took runners through the picturesque, but hilly Glenariff Forest Park.

Sat 5th Jan Run Forest Run – Tollymore
