Athletics Northern Ireland are delighted to announce the launch of the first ever ‘Run A Mile With Mary’ event.
The event will take place on Friday, May 10 at the Mary Peter’s Track and all proceeds will go to the Mary Peter’s Trust.
The event will begin at 3pm with a series of ‘Fun Miles’ which are open to all and will have a series of time slots during the day.
"The Fun Miles will be hand timed and runners will receive a certificate of participation. Fun Miles can be ran, walked or jogged and will be a great event for the whole family, so why not come down and join in?" a spokesperson said.
"The money raised will all go to the Mary Peter’s Trust, which aims to help young people from across Northern Ireland achieve their sporting dreams and ambitions by supporting selected athletes financially and providing them with access to a team of experts.
