About this race
The West Muskerry A.C. 5k is a road race starting and finishing at Tom Creedon Park/Macroom GAA grounds in County Cork. The course follows a single-loop route on paved roads, navigating the area around the Sullane River and passing under the Macroom Bypass. The terrain features an undulating profile with a series of rolling elevations throughout the 5km distance.
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.
