About Newry City Runners
Newry City Runners is the biggest running club in the area. Our club caters of runners of all abilities, from those that enjoy a Parkrun to those that compete on the national stage. Runners of all ages are welcome to join the club from age 16.
Not only can it introduce any novice runner that would like to get started/progress in one of the fastest growing sporting activities in the area but also the established runner, who would like the social aspect from being within a club that can meet and share his or her running standards, expectations and goals. With running being ever increasing in Newry and Mourne we as a club would still like to see our members increase to not only help build on individual needs of each standard of runner but also to become one of the strongest running clubs to represent the locale of Newry & Mourne.
