About this race
The Half on the Head 10k is a coastal road race held on June 13, 2026, starting and ending in Ballyheigue, County Kerry.

Participants navigate a hilly loop through Kerryhead on paved lanes, finishing with a flat seaside descent overlooking Tralee Bay.
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.
