About this race
The Nora Arthur 5k is an annual charity road race held in memory of Nora Arthur, organised by her family and friends with support from Raheny Shamrock AC. The race takes place in St Anne's Park, Raheny in north Dublin, one of the city's most popular and well-known public parks. The course follows a looped route through the park's tarmac paths and tree-lined avenues. The terrain is largely flat, making it accessible to runners of all abilities as well as walkers. The event is chip timed and well marshalled. Funds raised support the Neurosurgery Department at Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street. Set within the green and expansive grounds of St Anne's, the race draws a broad and community-focused field each year.
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.
