New Return to Running and Larne 10 mile Training Programmes
We have two new programmes exclusively for members - the Return to Running Programme and the Larne 10 mile Training Programme. If you haven’t been running for a while and want to get back into it the Return to Running programme is for you. For anyone wanting to up their miles and complete a 10 mile race the Larne 10 mile training programme will help you achieve your goal. And we are calling on club members and leaders to step up and help us run these two Programmes.
Your club needs your help to run two great new running programmes
Ballymena Runners is delighted to announce two new running programmes - the Return to Running Programme and the Larne 10 Mile Training Programme. Like all our activities we need people to step up and help us run these new groups over a 6 week period. If you are a leader or member and can lend a hand please get in touch .

Ballymena Runners perform well in the Cross Country League
Ballymena Runners ladies and mens teams did brilliantly at the Mathieson Shield and Cup hosted by Mallusk Harriers. Sadly BRAC joined Ecos Parkrun on Saturday morning in a minute’s silence at the start of the parkrun as a mark of respect for Aishling Murphy and in support for her family, friends, and pupils.
