Massive congratulations to Matthew Neill on becoming Irish National Champion in the 10,000m. What an achievement. Two national titles in a row after last week's U23 5000 gold #champ

@Cathal_Dennehy @Marathon_Mcr Apologises that is correct. Tommy ran 2.30.02 in Lisburn in 2020 which stands as the O60 record.

@ClubStrive @Marathon_Mcr Savage run. But just wondering, isn't his Lisburn run in 2020 the M60 record?

An incredible time of 2.30.05 for 62 year old Tommy in the @Marathon_Mcr this morning breaking the over 60s world record. The Marrakesh Express keeps on delivering. Well done Tommy! @Cathal_Dennehy

Tommy Hughes continues to astonish - a 2:30:05 (unofficial) marathon in Manchester today. That's 5:44 a mile - for 26.2 miles. He's 62. 📸@Kmcclurephoto

Good luck to our founder Tommy Hughes running @Marathon_Mcr tomorrow! He fine tuned this morning winning south Manchester parkrun with 17.10 breaking it's age graded record in the process! #marrakeshexpress

Massive thanks to @Willowfield_TH and all the volunteers for putting on a truly first class race.
