About this race
The Sarsfields GAA 10k is a chip-timed road race organised by Sarsfields GAA Club in Newbridge, Co Kildare, taking place alongside the club's 5k on the same morning. Starting and finishing at Sarsfields GAA Hall, the 10k route takes runners through roads in and around Newbridge on a flat, fast tarmac course. A medal is awarded to every finisher, and prizes are presented to the overall winner. Registration and number pickup begin at 8:30am at the GAA hall, with the race starting at 10am. The event is a popular annual community fundraiser for the club and draws a strong field from across Kildare and the surrounding counties. A family 2km event also runs concurrently for participants of all abilities.
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.
