About this race
The Mick Egan 4mile is a popular annual road race held in the coastal village of Doonbeg, Co Clare, organised in memory of a beloved local sporting figure. The race takes place on closed roads in and around Doonbeg village. The course is run entirely on tarmac roads and is generally considered flat to gently undulating, making it suitable for competitive athletes and recreational runners alike. Starting and finishing in the village, the route takes runners along quiet country roads through the scenic west Clare countryside close to the Atlantic coastline. The race is a well-established fixture on the Munster road racing calendar and typically attracts a strong field from across Clare and Munster.
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.
