Cosy Sofa 2023 - Join us and get a warm welcome

Welcome to everyone who has signed up for the Ballymena Runners Cosy Sofa Couch to 5k programme. Unfortunately we cant take any more applications as we have reached our maximum capacity.

The programme starts on Tuesday 10 January at 6.45pm at Ballymena North Business and Recreation Centre, Cushendall Road, Ballymena. 

We would ask that everyone be there for 6.45 to allow us time to complete registration and explain about the programme and the support you will get from experienced club members. We aim to be running at 7pm.

If your’e wondering what to wear we have one simple rule - see and be seen. We would ask that everyone wear some high visibility clothing. If you have something that is reflective, wear it as well.

Dress appropriately for the weather conditions. Many runners this time of year use a waterproof jacket, hat and gloves. Visit our Running Safely page for more helpful tips.

Remember we will be progressing at a pace to suit everyone.  You will be encouraged and supported throughout the programme by experienced leaders and club runners.
