Top 10 - Irish Men's and Women's 10 Mile Road Race Performances 2018
Irish 10 Mile Rankings for 2018 - Guest Article by John Walshe
John Walshe, was the driving force behind the, sadly gone but not forgotten, World famous Ballycotton 10, so it will come as no surprise that he is passionate about 10 Mile events, so much so, that he has been known to forego shorter races nearer to home and travel to 'other parts', including the UK, to run in, often obscure, but nevertheless prestige 10 Mile races.
Earlier this year, we started compiling a Cork race Leaderboard, so John asked "What about a National 10 Mile list!" I think the response may have been along the lines of "Haven't we enough to be doing? ...Do you want to do it?" Undaunted, John has chased down results of Athletics Ireland members, and AAI races in Ireland, and has compiled Performance lists for men running sub-55 Minutes and women running Sub-65 minutes.
Undoubtably, there will be performances that, for whatever reason, have been missed, overlooked, or, maybe, were run abroad. If you are aware of any, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
