South East Greenway 5K Stride
The South East Greenway 5K Stride takes place in New Ross, Co. Wexford on Friday August 7th, 2026. The event is held entirely on the Greenway along a flat, smooth, point to point route with no cars and no corners. The course features a gentle continuous descent from approximately 40 m to 7 m and is frequently described by participants as conducive to fast times; current course records are 14:22 for men (2025) and 16:06 for women (2024).
Race organisation uses chip timing and organised starting bays by ability. Race HQ is at New Ross Boat Club and race numbers must be collected in person at specified collection sessions the day before and the day of the event. A free shuttle operates from the Boat Club to the Glenmore start with drop off about 700 m from the start line; limited parking is available near the start and main parking is located about 200 m from Race HQ at New Ross Mart.
All finishers receive a custom-made 70mm printed steel medal and podium winners receive printed steel trophies with marble bases. Cash prizes and age category awards are offered, and a team prize is awarded to the fastest club team based on the top four finish positions. Participants must be at least 16 years old on race day. The event operates a no refunds policy but allows entry transfers during a specified transfer window. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
