At a recent 5k race, 12-year old Emer McKee from Belfast finished in an amazing time of 16 minutes 40 seconds and set a new world record time for her age!
In an interview, she said... "Normally I'm just running as fast as I can and just waiting for it to be over. I started doing parkruns and I then joined the running club when I was nine and everybody there was really nice and supportive and friendly."
It looks as if Emer may able be run even faster as she recently clocked 16:37 in a 5k that wasn't officially timed.
Great story' best of luck to her.
