We’re nearly into November, but for some elite Irish track athletes the 2025 season isn’t done and dusted yet. Brian Fay is on the start list down under for the Strait Link Burnie 10 in Tasmania, which also doubles as the Australian 10 km Road Running Championships.
Fay is the Irish 5,000 metre record-holder (13:01.40) and a 2024 Paris Olympian. He lost his 5,000m national crown this summer to Andrew Coscoran, and at the 2025 Worlds in Tokyo he competed again over 5,000m but didn’t make the final. Now he’s turning to the roads down under and will be hoping for a strong finish to his season.
- Local Start Time (Tasmania): 10:00 am, Sunday 26 October 2025
- Irish Time: 12:00 midnight (tonight)

📱 Tip: Set a reminder for just before midnight so you don’t miss the start, it’s rare to see an Irish Olympian racing while most of us are halfway through a bag of Taytos watch a movie on a Saturday night.
