About this race
The Run Ballybunion 10k begins and ends on Main Street in the heart of the town, with the race headquarters typically established at Kilcoolys Country House Hotel. This spectacular road course guides participants along the rugged Wild Atlantic Way, weaving through the stunning vistas of North Kerry. Runners enjoy a unique route that offers breathtaking views of the coastline and local landmarks while passing through the vibrant seaside community. The terrain is run entirely on permanent road surfaces, providing a reliable foundation for the duration of the race. While the scenery is world-class, the course is characterized by challenging hills interspersed along the route, offering a spirited and rewarding test of stamina for every competitor.
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.
