Irish teen star Nick Griggs sets all-time record for Parkrun

Tyrone’s Griggs knocked a second off the previous men’s world best.

TYRONE RUNNER NICK Griggs set the all-time men’s record for the traditional Saturday morning Parkruns.

Griggs ran the 5k in a time of 13:44. It beats the previous fastest time of 13:45 set by Andy Butchart at Edinburgh’s Parkrun last June.

Griggs ran the time at Belfast Victoria Parkrun, a course that is notoriously quick. This now means that the men’s and women’s Parkrun records are held by two Irish athletes.

Last December, Ciara Mageean ran the same course in a time of 15:13.
