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 .

See and be seen!

With the darker evenings drawing in it’s more important than ever to be wearing your high viz clothing. From the start of October you must also be wearing some form of reflective clothing when running with the club.

See and be seen is the golden rule.
