Get to know me

I’m Ben Branagh, a running coach and former elite athlete based in Belfast.

My achievements include winning the Northern Ireland 10k Championship and other prestigious road races such as the Seeley 10K, Bangor 10K and Craic 10K.

I have represented Northern Ireland on numerous occasions and have personal bests of 29.32 for 10K and 13.58 for 5K.

I have over 15 years of experience competing at the highest level, beginning my running journey at St.Malachy’s College in Belfast, before embarking on an athletics scholarship to California at San Jose State University.

After graduating and returning home to Northern Ireland, I found full time employment and balanced work with training.

In 2023, I retired from competing and created ‘Ben Branagh Running’ to pursue my passion of helping others achieve their goals.
