About this race
The St Andrews AC 5k begins and ends at the Donaghmore Ashbourne GAA Grounds, which serves as the vibrant headquarters for this popular community event. This engaging road course guides participants through the heart of Ashbourne village, where runners enjoy a high-spirited atmosphere and plenty of local encouragement along the route. The race typically follows a circuit that showcases the town’s streets and local landmarks before looping back toward the clubhouse finish. The terrain is run entirely on permanent road surfaces, providing a smooth and reliable foundation for athletes of all levels. Characterized by its reasonably flat profile, the course is a premier choice for those seeking a personal best in a welcoming and friendly environment.
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.
