BCMGlobal 5K Trail Race

The BCMGlobal 5K Trail Race takes place on 9th June 2026 at Phoenix Park, Dublin. The assembly location is the Civil Service A.C Clubhouse on Army Road, D08 VK09. Online entry is available.

The course is a fast two lap route on grass trails. Ground conditions can vary; trails are generally dry at this time of year but may become slippery after rainfall. Runners should be aware of raised tree roots when passing under and around trees and choose footwear accordingly.

Prizes follow the usual BHAA team and individual structure. Entry fees are €10 for individual BHAA members and €15 for non-BHAA members. Numbers are collected at the Civil Service Clubhouse. Post-race refreshments will be served outside because clubhouse capacity is limited.

There is no parking on Army Road. Available parking can be used around Phoenix Park, including North Road and Lord’s Walk carpark. The event is held under BHAA rules. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
