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!

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.

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.
