Event description:
Starting and finishing in Carrickfergus, Co Antrim, the event includes Half and Full Marathon distance. Both courses are predominantly run on trails, lanes, paths and rural roads and will give runners spectacular Night views of Belfast Lough.
Our ethos is to take runners back to nature, to ‘Run Wild, Run Free’ and as such both events are self-sufficient,
We will supply a GPX route of the course that you can download to your watch, this can also be downloaded and used on a mobile phone, on apps such as google earth, google maps etc. If you use OS Maps, or any hiking apps it can be downloaded to them also.
As there is no access to naturally occurring water on the course and as this totally is a self-sufficient event runners must carry their own food and water. This is a challenging course so runners should exercise their own common sense and carry adequate water and food supplies for the distance. These must be shown at registration.
Time limits of 4 hours for the Half Marathon Run, 6 hours for the Half Marathon Walk and 8 hours for the Full Marathon will be imposed.
All runners will receive a bespoke event specific Medal and Tea Coffee and Biscuits. Medical cover will be provided.
