Why I built this

Like many runners in Ireland, I love exploring different parkrun events on Saturday mornings. But I realised there wasn't a single, dedicated resource that combined course maps with elevation profiles.

I wanted to know: "Is it hilly?", "Is it on grass or tarmac?", or "Where exactly is the start line?"

Trying to find this info meant digging through Facebook pages, strava segments, or old blog posts. There was no decent "one-stop-shop" that brought everything together in a clean, easy-to-use format.

The Goal

Saturday5k.ie is designed to solve that problem. My goal is simple: to provide detailed, accurate course maps and elevation profiles for every event in Ireland.

• 🗺️ Clear Maps: Interactive maps so you know the route.
• ⛰️ Elevation Profiles: Know exactly when the hills are coming.
• 📱 Mobile First: Designed to work perfectly on your phone in the car park.

Accuracy & Updates

This is a fan-made project created by a runner, for runners. While I work hard to ensure every map is precise, courses can evolve and GPS data isn't always perfect. If you spot an error or want to help update a course, please let me know.
