The Drogheda 10k begins and ends in the heart of the vibrant town centre, with the start line positioned outside the historic St. Peter's Church on West Street. This popular scenic route leads participants through the charming streets of the historic town and along the picturesque banks of the River Boyne.

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.
