IRISH 10-MILE RANKINGS 2024

As has been compiled for the past number of years, the following is a ranking list over the popular 10-mile distance for men (under 55:00) and women (under 65:00)

This list, from January to April 25th, shows the time (gun), name/club/category, the race and finishing position, along with the date. Where an athlete appears more than once, just the surname is used after the initial listing

Last year over the same period, 62 times for women were recorded under 65 minutes. This year, the corresponding figure is two less at 60. However, there is a more alarming fall-off for the men with just 47 inside 55 minutes compared to 84 in 2023

Remarkably, no man has broken 50 minutes in any of the races so far in 2024. For the past two years the fastest at this stage were Yared Derese (49:04) in 2023) and Jake O’Regan (48:40) in 2022

Likewise, the fastest amongst the women is 56:23 by Ann-Marie McGlynn at Trim compared to Aoife Cooke’s leading marks of 54:50 (2023) and 54:19 (2022)

Trim, second last year to Dungarvan, had the most women under 65:00 at 17 while Mallow overtook the West Waterford race with a total of 11 men under 55:00

Any additions or corrections are welcome and can be made on the comments section wherever this list appears and will be included in the next updated edition published in the autumn
