Seville Marathon, 15th February 2026

While we were all shivering and trying to avoid the ice on the paths, Aoife Monaghan had a better idea … why not go somewhere warm and run a marathon?

“Couldn’t be happier” was how Aoife summed up her performance, and she has every right to be happy after running a great race. Her time of 3:33:50 was impressive enough, but the manner in which it was achieved was even more so … negative splits, the second half some 4 minutes faster than the first, and her final half-mile being the fastest of them all!

Absolutely brilliant running, Aoife. Well done!
