On Tuesday night Ballymena Runners swapped their normal vests and shorts for beards, hats, white fur trimmed red jackets, trousers and broad buckled belts as they embarked on the annual Santa Run around the streets of the town centre as a fundraiser for TinyLife.

After a week off because of the weather the club were back in action in places as far apart as Rostrevor, the Maiden City ... and Lanzarote!

Ballymena Runners were represented by 20 athletes at the Malcolm Cup Cross Country event with more donning club colours at Lough Fea and Loughgall Country Park.
