July saw Emma Donnelly successfully complete the Carrauntoohill Mountain Race on Ireland’s highest mountain. Meanwhile Alison Foster made her track debut at the Purvis track in Magherafelt finishing 2nd in her race. We also had strong turnouts, and some great times, at the Great Rossa Run and at the Run the Carn race

Just before the schools broke up for summer holidays Ballymena Runners helped three local schools with Colour Runs. Around 500 children, and a few of the staff, from Buick Memorial, Moorfields and The Diamond primary schools took part. A fantastic time was had and everyone who took part received a medal.
