Nationality: Irish
Background (Reasons for entering The Race)
With a background in Gaelic Games and mountaineering, I recently began to focus on adventure races and triathlon. Entering the Race just seems like the next step. It's a step into the unknown and I guess that's what makes it so appealing - finding where the limits are and seeing if you can push past them.

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
