When someone decides to take on a challenge they usually take on 10k, half marathon or maybe even the full marathon. Not Donal Grant, no he decided that those were not enough of a challenge so he took on the Connemara Ultramarathon 64km distance instead. That is a Marathon plus a Half marathon afterwards for good measure.

He put in dedicated training in recent months to prepare himself for the challenge and yesterday he took to the start line at 9am finishing in a very respectable race time of 6hrs 36 mins 21 seconds.

Huge congratulations Donal and enjoy the recovery.
