About this race
The Dingle Summer Solstice 5k begins and ends at Ladies Cross in Milltown, situated just outside the vibrant town of Dingle. This scenic route leads participants along the historic back roads toward Ventry, offering an immersive experience in the rugged landscape of West Kerry. Runners follow a picturesque path that showcases the natural beauty of the Dingle Peninsula with stunning views of the Atlantic coastline. The terrain is primarily composed of smooth tarmac and features a series of rolling hills that offer a fast yet challenging profile. With its refreshing sea air and strong community support, this course provides a memorable and high-spirited summer running experience.
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.
