Carroll and Reale look to break four minute barrier

IF YOU ever wondered how fast you could run a mile you can find out and, in the process, help a very worthy charity by participating in the SPAR Mile Challenge in your area over the coming weekend.

The SPAR Mile Challenge, which will be one of the biggest participation events in the country during this year, will take place in 28 venues across Ireland tomorrow and Saturday.

The event kicks off at The Mardyke in Cork tomorrow evening when Mark Carroll will attempt to break the four minute barrier for what could be for him the last time.
