We are pleased to announce that we have been the chosen Charity Partner for the Award Winning BORN 2 RUN EVENTS’ – RUN FOREST RUN WINTER RACE SERIES.

Runners will have the choice of two distances, 5K or 10K. Both races will start and finish on the fantastic state-of-the art Mary Peters Track, home of Northern Ireland Athletics. The route covers, track, forest trail, country road, taking you through National Trust property at Minnowburn and back along the banks of the Lagan.

Close to the city yet in the heart of the countryside – that’s the paradox of Minnowburn which has changed little over the years and still holds a rural charm.
