About this race
The Wexford Bus 5k is a chip-timed road race based in the village of Piercetown, County Wexford, a small rural community a short distance south of Wexford town. Backed by local operator Wexford Bus and managed by JustRuns Events, the event is held on a summer's day and welcomes runners, joggers and walkers of all abilities. The course is run on public roads in and around Piercetown, set amid the quiet countryside of the south Wexford lowlands near Johnstown Castle and the surrounding farmland. As a 5k it suits both newcomers looking to complete their first race and club runners chasing a quick time. With chip timing in place and a friendly, community-focused atmosphere, the event has become a popular fixture on the local Wexford racing calendar 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.
