Irvine club Ron’s Runners are back in full force on the competitive scene following the easing of COVID restrictions.

Since the turn of the year the club have competed in various events, with many members taking part in the Eglington Park run at the end of the January.

More recently, runners took part in the Hillbilly 10k trail race, with the club having a great day in challenging conditions.

The club also has members competing in long distance races, with Sylvia Mulholland recently competing in a ultra-distance event where she finished first for women over 50 and fifth overall.

Ron’s Runners train on Tuesday and Thursday nights from ‘The Circuit’ Quarry Road at 6pm.

In addition there is an opportunity for beginners to run together on Saturdays at 9.15am where shorter distances are covered at a more leisurely pace to suit individuals and distances up to 5k or more.
