Since international aid agency GOAL was founded in 1977, stars from the world of sport have been unfailingly generous in giving their time, energy and public profile to highlight the plight of the poorest of the poor and the work that GOAL is doing to help them. In 1985, GOAL CEO John O'Shea convinced Irish runners Eamonn Coghlan, Marcus O'Sullivan, Ray Flynn and Frank O'Meara to take on the 4x1 mile relay world record in aid of GOAL. Before hundreds of spectators on a hot August afternoon at University College Dublin, the four Irishmen set a time that still stands to this day. By doing so, they helped to further promote GOAL's work with the poorest of the poor.

Glad to see the video has stimulated this type of response. The Irish guys who hold the record are now retired from running but continued their involvement in the sport after retirement. If such an event as you suggest was organised these four should be invited guests. They have all spent time considerable time in the US, three of them stayed on to live there, namely Marcus, Ray and Frank. Eamonn is back in Ireland for a long while, was recently appointed as a Senator and is very involved in coaching athletes.

The Record Should Go! 1 year ago

This is a perfect record for a Kenyan team of milers to take down! Bring them to Eugene to do it and have four super fast Americans go against them. It would be a great event! Someone needs to make this happen- huge promo event, everyone wins!
