Well this was the first time we’d moved the inter church ‘mob match’, in a deliberate way, to January, it looks like we got a few new year’s resolution runners – but the icy weather meant some parkruns were shut for health and safety reasons.
In total there were 120 runners, across 29 parkruns running for Christian running groups/churches.
Obviously none of this would be possible without parkrun – so a big thank you to them.
We have results for 120 of you, but it’s just taking a little while to produce club scores – hopefully we will have scores, and a report, up by next weekend.

In December 2015, Kirkpatrick Memorial Presbyterian Church (KMPC), in East Belfast, launched a parkrun initiative as a way of raising levels of physical activity & exercise throughout the Congregation. The concept involved making use of the nearby Stormont parkrun (and indeed any others in Northern Ireland) to encourage KMPC members to meet up on a Saturday morning and participate, building our local community and encouraging what we call “Life Together”.
