POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
It had been 18 months since @adelesetl last ran a marathon. We spent a lot of time training and racing other distances, anywhere from 3km cross country events to half marathons.

But the marathon bug always comes back to us and at 51, Adele had a mission to win the Longford Marathon - a plan we set into place in February earlier this year.

We trained over hills and through the rain. We trained through the wind and the hot summer days. We prepared as well as we could to be as strong as possible... and I couldn't have asked for a better segment.

Adele finished the race in an astonishing 2:56:15! A time nearly equal to what she ran 18 months prior (2:56:09). She navigated the rolling hills and demonstrated the perfect combination of patience and risk management.

Here's what makes this story even better. Adele debuted at this marathon in 2002. Her time was 4:01:30 back then!

Well done Adele!!

We’re headed back to the @nycmarathon!

Julia Paternain looks to make a wave at this year’s race. This will be her 4th marathon but her first effort at the NYC event. Meanwhile, Kamohelo Mofolo will be celebrating his 21st birthday with a jaunt around the city in what will be his second marathon!

We have Coach @dmont330 running his 24th straight NYC marathon - and a host of athletes aiming to find their best on Nov 1st.

Keep your eyes pealed for the McKirdy Shakeout announcements for this race and for the rest of 2026! Will we see you in New York?
