Run Forest Run Castlewellan

Run Forest Run Castlewellan takes place at The Court Yard in Castlewellan Forest Park on 27 February 2027. It is the sixth and final race in the Run Forest Run Series; participants who complete five of six races receive a commemorative finisher t-shirt and those who complete all six receive a bonus medal at the finale.

The event offers two measured distances:

• 5K
• 10K

The start and finish are on the grass area close to the lake, beneath the lakeside castle. The route runs on off-road forest trails with views of the Mourne Mountains and the nearby permanent maze; distances may vary slightly because of the terrain. Race entry includes an event medal, individual chip timing, a race number, and complimentary post-race refreshments.

Registration is online only with race packs posted before the event; a limited registration service on race day is available for merchandise collection and race queries only. There is a parking fee for the main car park and free parking outside the forest park about 1 km from the town square. Prize giving is scheduled and will award 1st, 2nd and 3rd male and female finishers as well as series category winners.

Practical notes: no water stations on course, no pets, buggies are not permitted, toilets and showers are available at the park, and regular running shoes are suitable for the terrain. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
