About this race
The Bob Burke 4mile, organized by Grange Fermoy AC, follows a rural loop through the local countryside, primarily on quiet, paved roads. The terrain is largely level with some light, rolling elevations, making it a manageable and scenic run through the agricultural landscape of North Cork. Starting at 8pm, the main event is open to athletes aged 16 or more on the day of the race, and also features a juvenile mile race for children aged 6 to 15 which starts at 7:30pm.
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.
