About this race
The Newell 5k is an annual road race organised by Keep Er Lit Running Club in association with Newell Stores, starting from Main Street in the town centre of Coalisland, Co. Tyrone. The flat, fast course winds through and around the streets of Coalisland on fully marshalled, chip-timed roads. The event is a well-established fixture on the Northern Ireland athletics calendar, attracting large and competitive fields from across the province and beyond. Prize money is available for top finishers. Proceeds support local charities including Marie Curie. Participants must be aged 15 or over on race day. Registration and race headquarters are on Main Street, Coalisland. The 5k starts at 10:45am, with the 10k race commencing fifteen minutes later at 11am. Junior distances are also available at the event.
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.
