Cork and Youghal native Sinead Kane ran an amazing 204.621 kms at the Crawley 24 hour track race in the UK at the weekend. That's just over 127 miles!
With those performance, Sinead finish 2nd Female and 6th overall.
This is the International B Standard for Females (200Km) and to date, only 7 other Irish Female athletes have ever ran over 200Km. This puts Sinead 7th on the list based on performance.
It may also possibly be the first time for a visually impaired athlete to achieve this standard.
Alex O’Shea (Cork) was also competing in this race and finished 22nd with a distance of 139.6 kms.
