Luke Micallef has established a new national record on the 10km road race distance, with a superb performance in Bologna, Italy.
The 35-year old clocked a 29:26 time, on the World Athletics-certified route, placing third in the Italian city, a mere two seconds behind the race victor.
This timing, subject to formal ratification, means that Micallef has established a new national record, eclipsing the 29:39, registered by Jordan Gusman in the Gold Coast back in 2022.
This would be Micallef second’s national record, as the athlete already holds the top spot for the the 3000m steeplechase.
