South East Greenway 5K Stride
The South East Greenway 5K is a point to point road running event held on the Greenway in New Ross, Co. Wexford on Friday 7 August 2026. The course is flat and smooth, with a gentle continuous descent from 40 m to 7 m, no corners and no traffic on the route.
Events and services on race day include chip timing, organised starting bays based on expected finish time, a small gear drop at the start, and water provided at the finish only. Race numbers must be collected in person at Race HQ, New Ross Boat Club; numbers are not posted out and no race day entries are accepted. Shuttle buses run from the Boat Club to Glenmore with a drop off approximately 700 m from the start. Main parking is 200 m from Race HQ at New Ross Mart and limited parking is available near the start.
All finishers receive a custom 70 mm printed steel medal at the finish line. Podium winners in each male and female category receive premium printed steel trophies with marble bases. Cash prizes are paid for the top three men and women and for course records; age category winners receive smaller cash awards. Participants must be at least 16 years old on race day. The event is organised by United Striders AC and typically attracts about 500 runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
