About this race
The Dunleer AC 5k Road Race is an annual event organised by Dunleer Athletic Club in the village of Dunleer, County Louth. The course starts and finishes in Dunleer and takes runners out through the local road network in this part of north Louth, passing through the surrounding countryside on a tarmac route typical of the area. Dunleer AC is one of Louth's most active athletic clubs and has a strong tradition of hosting well-marshalled community road races. The 5k distance is suitable for all abilities, from competitive club runners to recreational participants. The event is chip timed and has attracted strong fields from clubs across Louth and the wider Leinster region in previous editions.
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.
