About this race
The Seskinore Forest 5k starts and finishes at Seskinore Rural Community Centre and follows a route on the trails and roads that wind through and around the beautiful Seskinore Forest. The course takes in the woodland paths and quiet country roads in the vicinity of the forest, offering a scenic and gently undulating run through the Tyrone countryside. The surface is a mix of trail path and tarmac road throughout. Organised by Seskinore Rural Community Group, this popular community event welcomes runners, joggers, and walkers of all ages and abilities. Finishers receive wooden medals and the event is fully chip timed. All proceeds go to local community projects in Seskinore Forest and the village, plus the event's chosen charity. Race packs can be collected the evening before or on the morning of the race.
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.
