Glenariff forest is reasonably well mapped out. Here is a link to the website: https://maps.osni.gov.uk/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=OPM006FLA. you mentioned some hills, well you will find plenty up and down there. You can make it as hard as you like, plus some great open country. From Antrim town your talking 35 minutes drive i would think.I'm not a runner myself but I'm sure you will find something interesting. Or if you can go further a field the Mournes offers countless runs. Challange yourself to the Mourne way challenge. search online for it.
