Confirmation of Michael Harty setting new national M45 10k record


Back on the 1st of July 2026, Michael Harty of East Cork AC finished the Coillte 10k road race in Tipperary in a time of 30m 00s. This was at the time a potentially new M45 national record for a 10k road race. See previous post HERE

The race organisers Dundrum AC have just confirmed that the course length has been rechecked and Michael has indeed set a new record!

Report from Dundrum AC... "Michael Harty breaks National Over 45 men’s record at Coillte 10k road race in Dundrum.

At the recent Coillte 10K road race on 1st July in Dundrum East Cork athlete Michael Harty set a new National Over 45 years men’s record for the 10km road distance which was ratified by the Irish Masters Athletic Association last week. 

The popular man from Cloyne, County Cork broke the old National record by nearly a minute. Michael is also a former winner of the Coillte 10k race which he won in 2022.

Michaels super run and finish time of 30 minutes flat in the race where he finished third overall only two seconds behind the winner saw him break the National 10K road record by a whopping 56 seconds which was held by Declan Reed from the City of Derry club for the classic distance. 

Interestingly Michael also holds the National Over 40 years men’s record for the same distance which he set in Leeds England back in 2022 in another super time of 29 minutes 42 seconds plus other distance records as well.



Michael’s new record means that the popular Dundrum course now has three National current records to its name over the 10k distance the other two being Joe Goughs West Waterford Over 70 years men’s time of 41 minutes and 10 seconds set in 2023 and Angela McCann’s Clonmel athletic club in Tipperary Over 50 years’ women’s time of 37 minutes 21 seconds set in 2021 plus two other records that have been broken since they were set, a huge testament to the speed of the course.

Thanks, must be given to Billy Purcell who measured the course also to Ronan Wogan of My Run Results who timed the race on the night. Tipperary County Council and local councillors also must be thanked for keeping the road upgraded over the past 41 years of the running of the event.
