The 2018 edition of the Brooks Armagh 5K International Road Race celebrates the 28th anniversary of this iconic event now ranked as the best and most popular road race in the world.

This has come about through the incredible in-depth, consistent standard of the Men’s 5K over many years. This has been highlighted by the fact that no other race brings together so many athletes running under 15 minutes with last year recording 56 sub-15 minute runners.

The event is organised by Armagh Athletic Club and attracts athletes from the highest elite standards from all over the world including the UK, various European countries and the United States.

The programme consists of 12 race stages on The Mall 1000m circuit, creating an unforgettable spectacle complemented by the unique Georgian architecture of The Mall.

The slick running of the programme contibutes to the excitement and atmosphere as runners of all ages and abilities speed around the mall in this series of 12 races. The course is flat, fast and furious and the fields are deep, giving runners the chance to run personal best times.
