A tribute to Don Turner

11 Mar 2025

All of us at Croydon Harriers are saddened to hear of the passing of Don Turner (pictured right).

Don was a true stalwart of the local athletics scene and helped the club throughout his volunteering in the sport through the South of Thames XC Association, Surrey Athletics and the U13 Inter Counties.

He would also officiate at many of our fixtures and perhaps most memorably at the Covid test event in October 2020 (picture above). Don would also audit our accounts over many decades.
