Chris Bain has rewritten the record books again as he raced to a new CI best for the 5K on the streets of Armagh.

The Armagh International Road Races have a growing reputation for producing fast times with fields stacked with quality runners.

Bain sped around The Mall in 14:23, improving his island record by 24 seconds and going 10 seconds quicker than Jersey’s Sam Maher ran last year for a CI best.

He produced even splits over the first 4km, before closing with a 2:42s last km.
