Ballymena Runners have taken the decision to postpone our annual Race over the Glens due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

Ballymena Runners continue to excel in the mountains. With the Mourne Skyline event cancelled this year three of our runners completed the virtual Mourne Skyline event on 17 October. Find out who and see the video of one of the runs.

We reported previously Jack McKenna’s Lake District fell run (the Bob Graham Round) in September when he completed 66 miles and 27,000 feet of climbing in under 24 hours. We now have his full story and pictures of this exceptional challenge.

If you are missing your Parkrun fix why not run, walk, jog 5k and record it as a (not) Parkrun - a special initiative helping keep the spirit of Parkrun alive while the actual Saturday morning runs are suspended.

'Neigh bother' to the Ballymena Runners 'thoroughbreds' as they gallop around Down Royal race course behind closed doors!

This week end saw another great ‘behind closed doors’ event as part of the Championchip Ireland race series at Down Royal Racecourse.

This weekend saw Ballymena Runners complete the virtual London Marathon and compete in the Les Jones Memorial 5k at the Mary Peters Track.

Last week saw Ballymena Runners in action fell running in the Lake District and in the Slieve Donard race. Other club members took part in various races at Shanes Castle in Antrim. Meanwhile Susanna Allen completed her ‘Six Hour Running Challenge’ at the Michelin Track.

From the 4th to the 8th September the Ballymena Belles Team had almost 400 people participating in their virtual 2020 Five Mile Run. We were delighted to see we had runs taking place all over the UK, Ireland and even as far as Latvia! Our Facebook page was flooded with pictures and stories.

In association with our main sponsor, McKillop's Spar Frys Road we are please to confirm a special medal collection event for Saturday 12th September 2020 from 2:30-4:30.
