Pavements to Pints Charity 5K Run to Honour Jill Taggart

Johnston’s Bar is inviting the Coleraine community to come together for a special charity event that celebrates the life of a much-loved local woman while raising vital funds and awareness for Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD).

Taking place on Friday 14th August, Pavements to Pints is a relaxed 5K social run in memory of Jill Taggart, a familiar face at Johnston’s Bar whose kindness, warmth and friendship touched so many people.

Jill sadly passed away from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a rare but devastating neurological condition. Through this community event, organisers hope to honour Jill’s memory while supporting research, raising awareness and helping families affected by CJD.

Whether you’re an experienced runner, prefer a gentle jog or simply enjoy a walk with friends, everyone is encouraged to take part. There are no race times or personal bests to chase – just a welcoming community coming together for a meaningful cause.

Event Details

Date: Friday 14th August
Time: 7.00pm
Registration: From 6.00pm at Johnston’s Bar or via the Johnston’s Bar Facebook page
Location: Johnston’s Bar, Coleraine
Entry Fee: £5 per person

Every penny raised will go directly towards CJD research and support.

More Than Just a Run

The evening isn’t just about completing 5K. Once participants cross the finish line, everyone is invited back to Johnston’s Bar to enjoy a well-earned pint, refreshments and the opportunity to share stories, laughter and memories of Jill.

It’s a chance for friends, family and the wider Coleraine community to come together in a relaxed atmosphere while supporting an incredibly worthwhile cause.
