trilogy part 3
bangor castle to carrickfergus castle
MARATHON
Full event description:
4TH SEPTEMBER 2022
Participants will be bused from the finish area (Carrickfergus) to the start area (Bangor Castle).
Bus leaves Carrickfergus 8am and Race starts 9am Bangor.
Public toilets are available at the start area in Bangor and are available before the bus leaves Carrickfergus.
The Third part of the Castle to Castle Trilogy will start in the grounds of the magnificent Bangor Castle and will make its way along the Coastal path from Bangor it will follow the coastline all the way round to finish at Carrickfergus Castle, this is a fabulous route with neverending views across Belfast lough.
The route from Bangor to Carrickfergus is the flattest of all 3 of the Trilogy races and won't disappoint.
Your finish is at the majestic Carrickfergus Castle, one of the best preserved medieval structures in Northern Ireland and of significant historical importance.
The concept behind ‘We Run Wild Ni’ is taking running back to nature, running for enjoyment and taking in scenery that is often missed when running, blindly looking for the next race sign or mile marker. To that end, there are no marshals on the course (with the exception of the half-way point) and the environment is not tainted with event signage. Rather, runners follow a detailed road book and return to self-sufficient running, carrying their own supplies. We will ensure runners safety with a GPX file and a water Refill only aid station at half-way, allowing participants to focus the beauty around them.
There are No special additional navigational skills required; the road book is sufficient, as runners of our previous events will testify.
This run has some of the most beautiful landscape views of Northern Ireland and with a start and finish point of two of the most beautiful castles in the locality it is a celebration of Northern Irelands historic value and beauty.
This is the Third part of the Castle Trilogy. Each Trilogy event has a bespoke medal and those who run all three events will receive a beautiful fourth medal which interlocks all the medals together. This fourth medal is provided only for those who complete the three trilogy events.
Bus leaves Carrickfergus at 8:00am SHARP and travels to start area (Bangor Castle). Should you wish to make your own way to Bangor Castle you can do so, however no transport will be provided by race organisers back to Bangor Castle.
