Ireland
Shona Heaslip is one of Ireland’s premier long-distance runners, excelling across road, track, and cross-country events. A former champion Irish dancer from Tralee, she transitioned to athletics in 2014 and rapidly ascended the ranks, clinching the Irish National Senior Cross Country title just two years later.
Overcoming a significant foot injury that sidelined her for over three years, Shona made a remarkable comeback. In 2024, she secured the National Half Marathon title in Charleville with a course record time of 1:10:57 . She also represented Ireland at the European Athletics Championships in Rome, finishing 34th in the half marathon with a time of 1:12:19
Her personal bests include:
5000m: 15:46.68 (2023)
10,000m: 33:22.65 (2023)
Half Marathon: 1:10:35 (2023)
In December 2024, Shona made her marathon debut at the Valencia Marathon, marking a significant milestone in her athletic career. Her long-term ambition is to represent Ireland in the marathon at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics .
Supported by the Jerry Kiernan Foundation, Shona continues to train and compete at the highest levels, aiming for further success on the international stage .
