Its been a busy few weeks with the Christmas Cracker and the Turkey Trot and the Greencastle 5 mile road race. And the Cross Country season is in full swing with races at Mallusk, Owenbeg and Lurgan Park.
Unfortunately the snowy and icy weather means that we have to postpone the start of the Cosy Sofa for 1 week.
The programme will now start on Tuesday 13th January 2026 at 7:00pm in the Sports Zone Hall in the new Northern Regional College (NRC) in Ballymena.

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.
