Fantastic news for Brian McGrath and Le Chéile AC!

Brian's outstanding time of 6 minutes and 8 seconds, recorded when winning his age category at the 2025 Griffith Avenue Mile, was officially ratified on 5th October 2026 as a new Irish Masters M70 Road Mile National Record!

Brian returned to the Griffith Avenue Mile again this year, finishing second in his age category, just a few seconds behind the winner. However, his remarkable performance from 2025 remains the national record for the M70 Road Mile.

Both Brian's name and Le Chéile AC are now proudly included in the official Irish Masters Athletics National Records list.

👏 A fantastic achievement and a proud moment for Brian and everyone at Le Chéile AC. It's wonderful to see his continued dedication, consistency and success recognised at national level.

Congratulations, Brian, from everyone at Le Chéile AC!
