About this race
The Clones Credit Union 5k Road Race is organised by Clones Athletics Club in County Monaghan, with title sponsorship from Clones Credit Union. The race takes place in and around the town of Clones, a historic market town in the west of Monaghan situated near the Fermanagh border. The course follows public roads in the Clones area on a chip-timed, Athletics Ireland permitted route. Clones town is set on slightly elevated ground with gently undulating terrain typical of the south Ulster drumlin landscape. The event is open to runners of all abilities and forms part of the summer road racing calendar in Ulster. Further course and event details are available through Clones Athletics Club and their social media channels.
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.
