Considering you have taken the time to find this webpage you were either most impressed with the act of doing 6.5 marathons in 6 days or you were in disbelief and had to see it for yourself! Both are equally as good - you are here and that’s the main thing.

My name is Eoin and I am the organiser and participant of this event. The objective of this event, put simply, is to go for a long run and raise a few bob for 2 worthy Charities. The run is based on the Grand Canal and the Royal Canal in Ireland.

Should you have the time click on the icons to get more information on the Running Course, Ultramarathon preparation, the Sponsors etc. Failing that, please consider that we have an objective to raise 30k. You can donate online by clicking on the Charity icons.

Thank You

Eoin Ryan
