A community 5km run and walk will take place in Dungannon Park on 27 June to remember three teenagers killed in a crowd crush outside a Co Tyrone hotel in 2019.

Connor Currie, 16, and 17-year-olds Lauren Bullock and Morgan Barnard died on 17 March 2019 while waiting to enter a St Patrick's Day disco at the Greenvale Hotel in Cookstown. The hotel owner and a security worker have pleaded not guilty to manslaughter charges, with a trial expected to begin in late 2026.

Organiser Jack McCullagh said the event, named Miles in their Memory, is intended to offer a positive and uplifting experience after years focused on grief. He said he wanted families, friends and the wider community to share memories and celebrate the lives of the three young people.

Proceeds from the event will go to St Vincent de Paul. Lauren Bullock's mother, Mary Bullock, recalled that members of the charity came to her family's home to offer support in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy. She said the family felt it was time to give back and recognise that generosity. She added that the event was a fitting tribute to her daughter, who had enjoyed many visits to Dungannon Park.

Pauline Brown, regional manager for St Vincent de Paul, said the charity was honoured to have been chosen and thanked McCullagh for organising the event. She also thanked everyone taking part and making donations.

The run and walk is scheduled to start at 2pm on 27 June in Dungannon Park. About 350 participants are expected. Donations can be made through a dedicated GoFundMe page.
