Ballymena Runners out in force at An Creggan Trail Race

Ballymena Runners have a long history of supporting our neighbour club Sperrin Harriers and their annual Winter League. The league enjoyed its triumphant return with the Lough Fea 5k a few weeks ago, an event carefully organised to take account of current health guidelines, in the striking foothills of the Sperrin Mountains with s course around the lough which welcomed a talented turnout of almost 150 runners.

The second race in the series was at An Creggan, located between Omagh and Cookstown at the foothills of the Sperrin Mountains.
