Event Description
Antrim Castle Gardens and Antrim Forum welcome you to the 6th WEE of 2022.
Antrim Castle remains to be discovered!
Welcome: As well as club members, we welcome everyone including newcomers and especially the group of juniors from Ballymena schools who are using the June WEEs for an inter-school league – best of luck everyone!
There will be someone available at registration to help newcomers with any questions or queries.
Terrain: This open parkland will make for fast running if you don’t get caught out by the many obstacles on your way round. Obstacles such as the river, canal, deep drainage ditches and uncrossable boundaries. Courses are planned to avoid the worst of brambles and nettles but be advised to wear full leg cover, especially on the long course.
Course details:
Short 1.9km, 12 controls.
Long 3.6km, 23 controls.
These distances are as the crow flies, but with many uncrossable obstacles in the way such as the river and main road these optimal distances are realistically going to be 5km and 2.7km.
Parking and Registration: Please note Parking will be at Castle Mall Car Park where you will also find Registration and Download. Turn off the A6, Dublin Road at the Police Station onto Castle Way and turn left using the underpass to access the car park. Starts will be on the grassy area to NW of motte in the Castle Gardens. All participants should use the pedestrian crossing (lights) when going to the start from the car park.
Facilities – There will be toilet facilities at Antrim Forum and Clotworthy House. Dogs allowed.
The courses will close at 8:30 pm sharp, so if you are still out there at that time please report to the finish and download so that we know you aren’t missing. The controls will be lifted after that time and you will be searching for something that isn’t there any more!
Entry: is online using SiEntries. The first time you enter online you need to register with SiEntries (enter an email and a password) after which they will send you a link to log in and it should be straightforward.

Safety: Please be aware of, and be courteous to, other users of the park. Both the Short and the Long course will cross service roads. Under no circumstance should people cross the main road, river or canals, there are underpasses and bridges to allow plenty of route choice.
