Denis McCarthy of East Cork completes his 1,000th race

Denis McCarthy of East Cork AC is a well known figure on the road race circuit and reached an important milestone in his running career last Thursday. The Ballintotis 4 mile race was actually his 1,000th race and the race organisers presented him with a special prize to mark the occasion.



Denis is also the holder of the longest running streak in Ireland. Having started on the 5th of June 1985, Denis ran at least one mile per day up until the 10th of June 2013...a total of 28 years and 4 days without a break, an incredible 10,232 days of running.
