About this race
The Emo Forest Run 10k follows a single-loop mixed-terrain route starting and finishing in Emo Village, Co. Laois. While the 5k stays within the estate, the 10k travels along quiet country roads and forest paths that cut through the scenic Emo Forest. The terrain incorporates the natural rolling undulations of the landscape while bordering the Emo Court estate. Runners navigate sheltered woodland stretches before returning to the village for a finish near the community center.
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.
