Coleraine Campus Junior Mile Fun Run

On August 21st, 2026, the vibrant Coleraine Campus will host two exciting running events for athletes of all ages: the Junior Mile and the Coleraine Campus 5k races. Sponsored by BASALTsix, these events promise to be a showcase of athletic talent and community spirit.
The centerpiece of the day is the Junior Mile race, open exclusively to boys and girls aged between 8 and 16 years old on the day of the event. This mile-long run will not only offer young athletes an opportunity to test their skills but also provide recognition for top performers in various age categories with awards presented to both male and female winners.
Following the Junior Mile, participants can look forward to a more challenging race: the Coleraine Campus 5k races. These events are part of the prestigious Northern Ireland & Ulster 5k Road Championship series, making them an essential addition to any competitive runner's calendar. The scenic route around the university campus will offer runners breathtaking views and a memorable course.
Located on Cromore Rd in BT52 1SA, the event venue is easily accessible for both local residents and visitors alike. With its lush surroundings and modern facilities, Ulster University provides an ideal setting for these races.
