I had the pleasure of running the Connemara International Half Marathon yesterday, 1hr 58! Yeoowh!!. The weather was amazing, the course was amazing, the runners, the locals, and staff were amazing! I've rarely had such a good time exercising.
-
Thanks for the effort to organize Connemara 2007, there are no words to say how beautiful was the day, and without a proper organization the weather would not have been enough (and the marathon would just not exists).
-
This was my first real run, and now I am totally hooked. I just wanted to thank everyone involved, and say that I can't wait for next years Full Marathon. Keep up the fantastic work.
Professional Ultra Runner Venturini set for Connemara
Tue, 14/02/2012Italy's SKY TV and Runner's World Italy will be covering Italian Paolo Venturini's Ultra race in Connemara.
Paolo started out a twenty year odyssey in 1992 by mountain biking the perimeter of Lake Victoria through Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda for a total of 2,400Km.
His love of endurance mountain biking brought him across Africa along the Tropic of Capricorn, a distance of 3,300Km, across Australia for a 4,446Km cycle from Adelaide to Darwin and followed up by crossing South America.
More recently he has turned his attention to running and has participated in many ultra, mountain and extreme events across the world including "The Night of Flanders 100K", "100K Pharaonic Race", "Magraid Ultratrail 100K" and the "Black Hills 100K Ultratrail".
