About this race
The DkIT Dundalk 5k (held in conjunction with the DkIT Dundalk 10k) follows a fast, predominantly flat route that starts and finishes outside DKIT Sport. The entirely paved course travels through the modern DkIT campus and along the Blackrock Road, offering a smooth and level path ideal for participants.
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.
