Meanwhile up in the Maiden City a host of club runners tackled the Foyle Bridge in the Walled City 10 miler - and a great day out by all accounts….

A little less conversation, a little more ‘altitude’ in Cushendall

30 Ballymena Runners descended on St Mary’s Parish Centre on the first Sunday of spring to take part in the annual Glens Runners Annual Charity Run / Walk with varying distances including the 15 miler from Ballycastle to Cushendall.

Well worth it for a great feed after running a wonderful route. Top morning out!
