Life Style Sports Dundalk 10k

The Life Style Sports Dundalk 10K starts on Francis Street in the centre of Dundalk, County Louth, and finishes on Earl Street. The course is closed to traffic, with marshals and a lead bike, and runs on roads throughout. Runners first wind through the streets of the town before heading out onto open, rolling terrain around Dundalk, with the Cooley Mountains as a backdrop. The 10K is a single lap of the course, which the half marathon runners complete twice, so the route offers a good mix of town streets and countryside roads. The profile is best described as gently rolling rather than flat. A water station is located at roughly 5km, with toilets at around the same point. The race starts in waves, and timing begins when each runner crosses the start mat.
