The BK5K begins and ends in the heart of Dundrum Village, Tipperary, with the race headquarters traditionally based at the local Scout Hall. This high-speed 5k route guides participants through the picturesque village streets, passing notable landmarks like the historic St. Mary’s Church and the local Centra. The course extends into the surrounding countryside, sweeping past the entrance to the tranquil Marl Bog Forest—locally known as the Duck Pond—before returning via the Green Road. Renowned as one of the flattest and fastest courses in Ireland, the terrain consists of smooth, level tarmac with long straight sections designed for peak performance. The event is celebrated for its electric atmosphere and is widely regarded as a premier destination for runners seeking a personal best.
