John Coade
Name: John Coade
Nationality: Irish
Background
My sporting background is dominated by Gaelic Football and Soccer but over the past couple of years I've become more involved in individual sports including running, cycling and combined adventure race events.While I definitely don't consider myself an elite endurance athlete (just finishing The Race will be achievement enough for me!) , I'm relishing the chance to push myself to both my physical and mental limits, and it's great to be able to do it all in the name of such a worthy cause as Self Help Africa.
Experience
2 Half marathons, 4 Adventure races, 1 Duathlon

TESTIMONIALS
The Race touches both extremes. It was the toughest but also one of the best weekends I've ever had. - Emma Kerr, Competitor 2015
A great race with a great bunch of people in a great part of the world. - Bill Wells, Competitor 2014
When I finished the race, I was broken, you guys put me through hell, the weather and the terrain made this a far tougher challenge than I had imagined. But I felt privileged to be competing among such astoundingly strong people, in such a stunning place. I recommend it, but only to the brave, the foolhardy, and the extremely fit!- Kate Kelly, Competitor 2015
