Co Down 5KM

04/08/2024

Yesterday we had the pleasure of having Brian who volunteers for Air Ambulance NI Down to the Parkrun to hand over the money raised at the Co Down 5k held back in June.

This year we done the race in memory of young Jamie Jay Marks. We thank the Marks family for all the help they give us in the run up to the race and on the day.

To all the sponsors, runners and helpers we can’t thank you all enough cause without your help this race would not happen and we would not be handing over this fantastic amount of £1941 👏👏👏

She loved it that much last year she came back this year. You’re all probably thinking what’s the big deal?
