About the race
The Stook 10 Mile is organised by Gowran Athletic Club to raise funds for the club. The main race is a 10-mile route through County Kilkenny scenery that winds across gentle valleys and along country roads to the crest of Stook Hill. The course includes a specially timed section known as the Stook Flying Mile with timing mats at either end so every runner receives an individual split for that mile. After the flying mile the route continues downhill, includes about 200 m of an uphill pull, and then finishes with a short downhill to the finish line.
The event takes place in Dungarvan, Co. Kilkenny on Sunday 15 November 2026 and offers additional distances and entry tiers:
- 10 mile : online and on-the-day entry available
- 10 km : online and on-the-day entry available
- 5 km : online and on-the-day entry available
Prizes are awarded to the first three male and female finishers with category prizes for first place in M40-49, M50-64, M65+, F40-49, F50-64 and F65+. There is a Kealy Perpetual Shield team prize for athletic clubs based on aggregate positions of two men plus two women; the team prize includes cash and the perpetual shield. Finishers receive a distinctive cowbell style medal reflecting the race setting. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
