Proud to be part of the running community in Northern Ireland.
Team Kerr (Aaron’s Army is the official charity name) is our Charity Partner for Spirit of Running.
Team Kerr is a running family from County Down, consisting of Dad (David), Mum (Sandra) and Son (Aaron).
Using a custom built running chair pushed by his parents, Aaron participates in running events across all distances throughout all 32 counties in Ireland! As a family, they are aiming for their 40th marathon at Dublin City Marathon 2019. They have become a regular presence on the running circuit and are an inspiration to all who know them.
Team Kerr promotes inclusive running and supports other families to do the same by providing access to joggers.
