About this race
The Stanley Reid Memorial 5 Mile Classic is a road race organised by Sperrin Harriers, held at Loughry College (Loughry Campus, CAFRE) in Cookstown, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The race is named in honour of Stanley Reid, a founding member of the club who took up running at 60, co-founded the Cookstown Harriers in 1998, and was the driving force behind the event's inaugural running in 2002. The course starts and finishes within the grounds of the campus and ventures out onto the quiet country roads surrounding Cookstown for the majority of its distance. Run on tarmac throughout, the course is undulating but fast, with many runners setting personal bests on the route. Main sponsor Henry Bros supports the event. Prizes are awarded to top finishers, and the race is well established as one of the most popular summer evening fixtures on the Northern Ireland road race calendar, attracting a strong and competitive field each year.
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.
