 We’re delighted to report back that last Saturday 25th July Angeline, Reg, and Trevor completed the epic Alpine Marathon Challenge and beaming with pride crossed the finish line in Davos to the applause of family and friends! From the awe inspiring scenery of the Alps to the unforgiving uphill runs, the grueling Alpine challenge was an incredible experience for our 3 challengers. Full of pre-race nerves and excitement with no idea what to expect, the guys set off from the start line surrounded by runners from around the world. After months of intensive preparation with trainer Hannah Shields, running the Alpine course was the ultimate test for our challengers as they competed in the biggest mountain ultramarathon in the world. With 21 km of the race on high alpine terrain and part of the trail at an altitude of 2,600 metres the guys really had to practice everything they had learned in training in order to make it across the finish line. As Trev summed it up for us “The run itself was tough going. We paced ourselves as much as we could, but it was hard to do that because you just didn’t know what was coming round the next corner. The scenery was amazing though, it’s really a gorgeous spot. Not a bad place to kick start your marathon career!” And it looks like the challenge has ignited a genuine passion for running amongst our challengers! Ange is talking about running the Causeway Coast Marathon this October while Trev is committed to taking part in 10km runs throughout the year and not one to do things by halves, Reg has set his sights on doing the New York City Marathon. Now that’s what you call a ‘Never Give Up’ kind of attitude! With the post race celebrations lasting throughout the week in the guys respective home towns of Laois, Down and Clare, everyone can now let their hair down and take some time to chill out… well almost everyone, our girl with the ‘can do’ attitude Angeline is one of the finalists in this year's Mary from Dungloe Festival. Best of luck Ange, we’re all behind you! So after a lot of blood, sweat and tears, not forgetting the injuries, needles and the beginning of new friendships, Angeline Sloan, Reg White and Trevor Lee have proved that anything is possible if you put your mind to it!
