About St Malachys AC
St Malachys AC grew out of the athletics community around St Malachy's College in Belfast. Paddy McKillop, who taught physical education at the college, founded the club to give runners opportunities to compete against other clubs across Ireland. His son Michael later described the friendships and support he found there as an important part of his development in middle-distance running.
The club remains listed by Athletics Northern Ireland, which publishes a secretary's contact for enquiries. Its history includes Michael McKillop's progression to international para athletics, but that association does not establish a current training timetable or an open school-site session. Anyone interested in joining should ask the club directly about suitable groups, eligibility and meeting arrangements; a precise founding year and current venue have not been confirmed in the sources reviewed.
