Caitriona Jennings after winning the Donegal Half Marathon in August
Caitriona Jennings set a new World Record in the 100 Mile at the 2025 Tunnel Hill 100 Mile at the weekend.
The Letterkenny AC athlete crossed the finish line with a time of 12:37.04 for fourth overall in the race and the first female home in Vienna, Illinois.
Jennings, wearing her Letterkenny AC vest, took over five minutes off the previous record of 12:42:40, which was set by Camille Herron at the same event in 2017.
It was an impressive run from Jennings on her first attempt at the 100 Mile, running a split of 7:34 minutes per mile or 4:42 minutes per kilometre.
Posting on social media, Jennings said: “Words can’t describe this feeling.
