About this race
The Great Rossa Run 5k is the shorter of three timed distances at an annual community running festival in Ardboe, County Tyrone, situated on the western shores of Lough Neagh. The 5k course starts from a point in the centre of Ardboe and follows the rural roads of the loughshore area, with all three distances finishing together at Ardboe Hall on Mullinahoe Road. The course takes in the quiet country roads surrounding the village. Terrain is undulating with some gently rolling sections typical of this part of County Tyrone. All routes are professionally measured and carry Athletics NI certified course status. A family walk and fun run operates in parallel. The event has grown from a local fixture to a major community occasion attracting well over 750 participants, organised in association with Ardboe O'Donovan Rossa GAC.
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.
