Cosy Sofa is back for 2026!

Ballymena Runners are delighted to announce that our ever-popular Cosy Sofa programme returns in January 2026!

The programme will start on Tuesday 6th January 2026 at 7:00pm. It will be in The Sports Zone Hall in the new Northern Regional College (NRC) in Ballymena. Parking is available at Ballymena Showgrounds via St. Patrick’s Link (just a short stroll to NRC)

Whether you’re completely new to running or just looking for a fun, friendly group to get moving again — this 8-week programme is for everyone! By the end, you’ll be confidently running for 30 minutes (or maybe even tackling a 5k parkrun!)

It costs £25 for the full 8 weeks — and here’s what you get:

  • Two extra weekly runs with trained, supportive leaders

  • Guidance and encouragement from our experienced club members

  • A Ballymena Runners high-viz technical T-shirt (on completion)

  • A shiny Ballymena Runners medal to mark your achievement

  • A fun celebration and graduation evening to wrap it all up!

Hundreds have completed our Cosy Sofa — now it’s your turn to join the fun this January! To join just click here.
