Blue Skies and Blue Vests at Belfast City Marathon

Among the thousands of runners who took to the streets for the 41st Annual Belfast City Marathon, dozens of Ballymena Runners donned their blue vests and joined them. With 19 runners completing the full marathon, 5 relay teams and the supporters in the cheer zone is little wonder our runners had such success including PBs.

Mountains, coast, zoos, roads, trails - we run everywhere

The past week has been exceptionally busy for club runners. Our biggest turnout was in Larne for the 10 mile race. We had mountain runners in the Mourne Marauder, safari runners at Belfast Zoo Half Marathoners in Omagh and Marathoners in Roscommon. And to top it all we donated £1456 to the Cancer Fund for Children.
