About this race
The Bettystown B5 begins and ends in the heart of the picturesque coastal village of Bettystown, often starting near the village square or community hubs. This scenic 5k course leads runners on a fast, flat loop through the town's local streets and charming residential areas, offering refreshing views of the nearby seaside environs. Participants pass through the lively village center, which is renowned for its electric atmosphere and strong local support throughout the race. The terrain consists entirely of smooth, well-maintained tarmac roads, making it a favorite for those aiming to set a personal best. This community-driven event concludes with the famous hospitality of Cilles AC, providing a perfect finish to a summer evening run.
Course profile & record eligibility
World Athletics record-eligibility rules cap net elevation loss at 1m per km of race distance, and require the start and finish to be no more than 50% of the race distance apart — both meant to stop a course gaining an unfair edge from downhill grade or a point-to-point tailwind. This is based on this course's recorded elevation and GPS data, not an official measurement or certification.
