Team Geared Up

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) I wrote about this crazy idea back in March, and can’t believe it’s come round this soon! Eoin Ryan, he of the static ironman, has created his own ultra distance challenge called the Ultramarathon Triangle and it’s based around the usual multi-day event concept of 6 and a half marathons over a week. He has based this around the Grand and Royal Canals. He’ll start tomorrow with the Grand Canal in Dublin (40k) on day 1, then 55k to Bury Bridge Tullamore on day 2, 36k to the Shannon on day 3. Day 4 is the Royal Canal, a whopping 82k to the Meath/ Westmeath border. Trip to Leixlip on day 5 will involve 42k which brings him to the final 20k to Dublin on day 6. And all for two very good causes, Our Lady’s Childrens Hospital, Crumlin and the second one, not so well known, Hogar Santa Therese, Obera. Argentina.

Eoin I’ll try join you for a couple of miles along the way! Best of luck!
