It was Seeley Cup weekend and, as ever, Ballymena Runners were very well represented at this prestigious event ... as well as spreading some early festive cheer in the town centre!

This week we swapped our trainers for dancing shoes to celebrate our achievements over the past twelve months but there was still plenty of running with a strong club showing at international level and at Drum Manor.

The winter trail season is in full swing now with a sizeable number of Ballymena Runners competing in Davagh, Garvagh and Tollymore Forests ... oh, and there was a wedding to celebrate too!

It's been a busy time for the club over the past few days. Congratulations to the Cross Country team for a strong showing in Ballyclare, to our New York City Marathon runners and to all those who picked up new PB's at whatever event they attended.

There was a strong showing at the SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon with over 30 athletes representing the club while congratulations go to our call-ups for the forthcoming Masters International event in November.

There was a successful weekend in Wicklow for Gillian and Ruth as they secured podium places at Run The Ridge, while the Cross Country season got off to a good start ... plus news from Davagh, Dundrum and Amsterdam!

What an interesting and varied week of action for Ballymena Runners! From going back in time at Cultra to the streets of London and from the Atlantic coast to the Mediterranean there seemed to be few places that the club colours didn’t grace with their presence.
 

Ballymena Runners invaded Glasgow at the weekend for the Great Scottish Run ... but the club colours were also spotted in places as diverse and far apart as Florida and Downpatrick! 

With apologies to the late, great Leonard Cohen ... first we take the Causeway Coast, then we take Berlin, Cavehill and, thanks to Pamela Kane, everywhere else!

It was a busy weekend for Ballymena Runners, quite literally a case of running here, there and everywhere! No stone was unturned as the club colours were spotted in places as far apart as Orange County, California to South Shields and a cameo appearance on national television!
