About this race
The Maynooth 10k is an annual road race organised by the MEC PTA, the Parent Teacher Association of Maynooth Education Campus, as a fundraiser for the upkeep of local school playing fields and community facilities. The race starts and finishes at Maynooth Education Campus on the Moyglare Road. The 10k route heads out along Moyglare Road, through Mariavilla, continuing to the Dunboyne Road roundabout before following the R157 along the Carton estate boundary. Runners loop at the Maynooth–Leixlip road junction and return via the Boreen back to the campus. The course is flat and fast, suitable for all abilities, and is chip-timed
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.
