Josh Kerr retained his Fifth Avenue Mile title in sensational style in the Big Apple on Sunday – with a new Course Record.

The Olympic 1500m silver medallist clocked a rapid 3:44.3 to take more than three seconds off the mark set by Sydney Maree at 3.47.52.

Josh himself had gone close to Maree’s 1981 Course Record 12 months ago when he won his first Fifth Avenue Mile in 3:47.9.

This year’s win was spectacular and the achievement gilded still further by the fact he raced in the Diamond League meeting in Zurich on Thursday night

And so the Scot ‘took New York’ to complete a remarkable 2024 which has seen him win gold at the World Indoor, break Steve Cram’s British Record for the mile on the track and claim silver at the Olympics while taking down Mo Farah’s 1500m British Record.
