About this race
The Michael Curley Cunningham 4mile is an annual memorial road race organised by Mooreabbey Milers AC in honour of their late club member, held in and around the village of Galbally, Co Tipperary. The course is run on tarmac roads and is noted for being hilly with a rewarding downhill finish. Starting in Galbally, the route winds through the surrounding rural roads in the shadow of the Galtee Mountains, providing a challenging but scenic test of endurance. The race attracts a competitive field of club runners from across Munster and is a popular fixture on the Tipperary road racing calendar. A perpetual cup is awarded to the overall winner alongside cash prizes.
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.
