Ballymena Runners 5k At Ballymena Academy

Posted by Ally Stewart | Apr 1, 2015 |

A hugely successful charity event would describe Ballymena Runners 5k at Ballymena Academy which raised over £600 for McMillan Cancer Care Charity. The charity event saw 120 people running in the grounds of Ballymena Academy. The runners included many long time club members but Ballymena Runners were also delighted to see a good turn out of recent graduates of their Cosy Sofa programme. The Cosy Sofa programme began at the start of the year to encourage the participants to get off their sofas and after several weeks of training, be able to complete a 5k run by the end of the programme! The club hopes that for those who took part in the Ballymena Runners 5k at Ballymena Academy, it will have given them the bug to continue running and get involved in future running events. Ballymena Runners 5k at Ballymena Academy was a huge success. Ballymena Runners would like to thank Ballymena Academy for the use of the grounds and facilities, club member James Turtle who was race director and the many volunteers who volunteered as marshalls and time keepers. On the night the fastest male runner was James Hamilton with a time of 16 mins 39 secs and fastest female was Kerry Bamber who completed in a time of 20 mins 20 secs. The club are grateful for everyone who ran, supported or helped in any way to...
