About this race
The Sarsfields GAA 5k is a chip-timed road race organised by Sarsfields GAA Club in Newbridge, Co Kildare. Starting and finishing at Sarsfields GAA Hall, the course takes runners on a route through the roads in and around Newbridge town. The course is flat and fast on tarmac roads, making it well suited to all levels of runner from competitive athletes to first-time participants. A medal is awarded to every finisher, and prizes are presented to the overall male and female winners. A 2km family event for walkers and runners of all abilities also takes place on the day, with registration available on the morning. The race is part of an annual fundraising initiative for the club.
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.
