Michael Harty runs 14m 13s for a 5k in Kildare


Report from John Walshe of Ballycotton... "Another amazing performance by Michael Harty on this Friday evening at the St Cocas 5km at Kilcock in Co Kildare.

The East Cork man finished a brilliant third overall in a time of 14:13 – this was all of 18 seconds inside Decan Reid’s M45 Irish record of 14:31 which has stood since 2019.

It was also faster than Michael’s M40 Irish record of 14:20, although this went tonight as the runner-up, Colm Rooney of Clonliffe (who is over 40), ran 14:10*.

The race was won by Jonas Stafford (UCD) in 14:09. First woman was Danielle Donegan (Tullamore) in 15:45."

Addendum 1: *Colm Rooney had broken Michael's M40 record back in May when he ran 13:48 at Enfield.
Addendum 2: It looks as if the course has a net downhill so it won't count for national records.
