The Rowan Boland 5K and Fun Run took place on Sunday 14th June 2026 in relatively mild and, importantly, dry conditions, making it a great day for running. The event began with a fun run around the park and cricket pitch, creating a lively and inclusive atmosphere for all ages.

The 5K race was officially started by local three-time British boxing champion Rosie Swailes, while trophies were presented by this year’s Braw Lad and Lass, Ruaridh Anderson and Chloe Logan.

A big thank you to the Rowan Boland Memorial Trust for organising such a successful and enjoyable community event.

One of our U14 boys left his Gala Academy black top at the track last week Thursday 30th May 26. He is very keen to find his top, it maybe that someone picked it up by mistake. Please reply via comments if you are able to help.
