Huge club turnout for GRC5k - we run the coast!

An absolutely fantastic turnout for our club target race at GRC5k on Friday evening in Glenarm!

Brilliant to see so many Ballymena Runners taking on the scenic route from Carnlough to Glenarm.

It’s known for being one of the fastest 5k races and a lot of great times were recorded by our runners including a number of PBs. Congratulations to all .

Huge club turnout for GRC5k - we run the coast!

In stark contrast to recent weeks Ballymena Runners didn't stray far from home over the past seven days as their running adventures took them to such exotic locations as Kells, Broughshane and the North Coast.
