It has been quite a week for Ballymena Runners, with success stories at all distances from 3000m to 69 miles, and from events close to home to one side of England to the other

Many congratulations to our very own Kerry Bamber, first lady over the line in the Fairhill 5 on Wednesday night. Kerry held off a determined challenge from Ballydrain Harriers duo Denise Logue and Debbie Matchett to claim top spot on a successful night for the club which also saw Ben Morrow, Geraldine Quigley and Linda Petticrew claim age category wins.

Ballymena Runners athlete James Hamilton has been named amongst the 49-strong Great Britain squad for the forthcoming World Para Athletics Championships to be held in London next month.

Ballymena Runners were very well represented during the increasingly popular SSE Airtricity Walled City Marathon in Londonderry on Sunday.

Many congratulations to everyone who began their journey from Cosy Sofa to 5k this evening in Broughshane on what was a perfect night for running.

With almost 100 runners out and about on the streets of the ‘Garden Village of Ulster’, ably assisted by a healthy sprinkling of club members and previous Cosy Sofa graduates, it was truly a sight to behold.

Our popular and successful Cosy Sofa to 5k programme is back! This time we are taking it to Broughshane, starting at 6:30pm on May 30th at the Community Centre, Knockan Road. Sign up here.
