About this race
The Mayo AC 5k Series Race 2 is the second of five consecutive Tuesday evening races in the annual EBS Mayo AC 5k Series, hosted by Westport AC in Westport, Co. Mayo. The chip-timed course runs through the streets and roads of Westport, one of Ireland's most scenic towns situated on the shores of Clew Bay in the shadow of Croagh Patrick. Now in its 14th edition, the series is Mayo AC's primary fundraiser, with the Mayo Mental Health Association as the 2026 charity partner. Races start at 8pm and the entry is on a cash basis on the evening. The five-race series visits Castlebar, Westport, Claremorris, Ballinrobe, and Manulla on consecutive Tuesdays in May and June. A complimentary series T-shirt is available for the first 150 runners registered online.
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.
