Name: Sean Mcfadden
Nationality: Irish
My first competitive sport was running. Having conquered three marathons with a PB of 2.46, I then tried my hand at duathlons and triathlons Sprint and Olympic distance. From there I went on to represent Ireland at the World Age Group Duathlon Championships in Italy. Bike racing came next where I have raced in everything from local races to some of the toughest races in Ireland, including the gruelling 8-day An Post Rás. Recently I have taken to adventure racing. Having competed in many races in Donegal I am ready to take on ‘The Race.’

Dublin City Marathon (2 times), Belfast City Marathon, World Age Group Duathlon Championships, 1st Lough Key Triathlon, An Post Rás (twice), 3rd in stage of Ras Mumhan, Tour of the North (twice), Tour of Ulster (twice) Mizen to Malin Cycle, 1st Mulroy Adventure Race 2013, 1st Coastal Challenge 2013, 10th Gaelforce North 2013, Derry Half Marathon 2013.

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
