The night of racing in Armagh in just over 2 weeks time is one of the highlights of the British road racing scene with the jewel in the crown being the 5k which includes runners from all over the world.

On the 9th of February this year the mall in Armagh will be packed with spectators watching the athletes push their body's in the search for the win at such an historic event at the 22nd time in it's history.
RunnersLife will have their own team in the men's race this year and will be looked after by one of the most welcoming and accomadating race organising teams in the UK. Sadly due to injury the RunnersLife has lost two of it's athletes this week with Ali Hay, a 3.38 1500m runner and Commonwealth Games finalist, still unable to run following an Achilles operation. Joining Ali on the treatment table is sub 14minute 5,000m runner Dan Mulhare, who is massively disappointed to have to miss the night race in Armagh having heard all about it's history.
