Extreme North Presentation_1THIS IS EXTREME NORTH

Born out of the recession, our Events were founded on the belief that, regardless of where you travel in the world for Adventure, Inishowen, has in many cases more to offer in scenery, challenge, endurance and welcome than many of the prestige events. Inishowen in NW Donegal is Irelands most Northerly landfalls and it’s stunning coastal roads form the first 90mile of the amazing Wild Atlantic Way. The unspoilt landscape has to be seen to be believed and how better to witness it than by taking part in an Extreme North Event.

 OUR STORYExtreme North Presentation_1

Founded by myself,Harold McGuinness and my passion for travelling around the world for adventure, Extreme North Events were born out of a dream and awareness that Inishowen could match any event and was an ideal venue in which to stage high quality events.

Due to the recession and collapse of my Architectural practice in 2012 the dream was about to take roots as I choose to switch my energies into a venture that filled me with passion and enjoyment.

 

EN Quad 4_0319MY STORY

In my 40th year and weighing 240lbs a serious health issue was the catalyst for change. Runners were bought and after a few years of running around in circles I completed my first Marathon in Dublin in 96. Dream complete?, Yes but I kept dreaming and the possibilities expanded. 19 years later and 60lbs lighter I’ve completed 36 Marathons, Himalayan 100 mile, Marathon Des Sables, Quadrathon, Ultra, numerous Cycle trip up to 520m and much more all due to that 1 decision to START. More importantly I have made some fantastic acquaintance and amazing tales of achievement by ordinary people.
