The race in Joe’s words

As the magnitude of the pandemic came to light in the spring, one by one our 2020 races  cancelled – Race Across Italy, Race Across the West, Race Around Ireland.

We collectively locked down.

In that lockdown, the essence of our season, Reaching Further with title sponsor White’s Oats, still shone brightly. We just didn’t know how or where it would lead us.

Well in July, as soon as travel restrictions lifted, it lead us back to that iconic Irish start line on the most northerly tip of Ireland, Malin Head.

Our goal was to put the record under 48 hours.
