Ballymena Runners ladies and mens teams did brilliantly at the Mathieson Shield and Cup hosted by Mallusk Harriers. Sadly BRAC joined Ecos Parkrun on Saturday morning in a minute’s silence at the start of the parkrun as a mark of respect for Aishling Murphy and in support for her family, friends, and pupils.
In January BRAC is working with Ecos Parkrun to support the the Ballymena Hygiene Bank to collect personal care and household cleaning essentials. These are distributed locally to a network of community partners. If you have any items you can donate you can bring them to Ecos Parkrun every Saturday in January.
