Parkrun legend George Row receives Danny Sheerin Memorial Award from the Mayor Councillor Patricia Logue. The award was established last year following the passing of the popular runner to recognise members of the local running fraternity who embody the spirit of participation and encouragement that Danny was so well known for. Mr Sheerin took part in every Waterside Half Marathon since the event’s inception in 1981, even when he was unwell with a cancer diagnosis in recent years. He took part in scores of Marathons, Half Marathons and Triathlons in the city for decades, including every Derry Marathon, and sadly passed away following his long battle with illness less than two weeks before this year’s Waterside Half.
