About the Event

Nestled along the picturesque coastline of Northern Ireland, Ardglass hosts its annual 5k and 10k races. Participants gather at the local Primary School from 5pm to 6:40pm for registration, setting a relaxed pace before the race begins.
The event kicks off with the 10k race starting promptly at 7pm, followed closely by the shorter but equally spirited 5k race which starts just ten minutes later. Both races are chip-timed, ensuring accurate and fair results for all competitors.
As runners set out through Ardglass's scenic landscapes, they'll encounter a mix of coastal paths and quiet streets that showcase the town’s charm. The flat terrain makes it ideal for both seasoned athletes looking to clock fast times and beginners aiming to test their endurance in a supportive environment.
All participants receive a finisher medal at the end of their race, while top male and female runners in each distance earn additional recognition with prizes waiting for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. The event not only celebrates athletic achievement but also fosters community spirit among local residents and visitors alike.
The Ardglass races offer a perfect blend of competition and camaraderie, making it an unmissable event for runners who appreciate the beauty of coastal running combined with the warmth of small-town hospitality.
For those planning to participate or simply cheer from the sidelines, the Primary School serves as the central hub where all race-day activities converge.
