Seven marathons on seven continents in seven days
Good luck to DCU PhD researcher Sinéad Kane as she prepares to take part in the World Marathon Challenge next week. Sinéad hopes to claim a Guinness World record by becoming the first officially blind person to run seven marathons on seven continents in seven days.
The race begins in Antarctica on January 23rd, followed by South America (Chile), North America (Miami), Africa (Marrakech), Spain (Madrid), Asia (Dubai) and Australia (Sydney).
Sinéad is a PhD researcher with the National Anti-Bullying Research and Resource Centre at DCU. Last year, she completed the Volcano Marathon in Chile’s Atacama Desert and the Red Bull in Brazil where she finished 23rd of the 1,412 female participants.
