Last WEE before the summer break is in Barnett’s Demesne.
The MOO will be in one of the car parks adjacent to Malone House – see map here.
- Leg cover – probably a good idea, but less critical than recent weeks. Undergrowth along the Long course isn’t too bad (no waist high nettles like Antrim Hospital…). If you’re aggressive with your short cuts or rusty with your navigation, and have sensitive skin wear, some leg cover.
- Short course is mostly on paths, so there shouldn’t be any tramping through undergrowth required.
- The Long course will cross a few roads in the grounds, so watch out for traffic.
- A few controls on the Long course are near mountain biking trails. Please note mountain bikers have right of way over pedestrians on these trails, so if you do find yourself running along them, be conscious of your surroundings and be prepared to get out of the way.
- The Long course also passes in the vicinity of the Mary Peters track. I haven’t marked it out of bounds, but if you do decide you want to cross it, stay out of the way of any athletes on the track and any javelins in middle.
- Courses close at 20:30. If you’re still running at that point, controls may start to vanish from the course.
