Quadrathon’s International appeal continues to grow.

The Quadrathon continue’s to have International appeal with 33% of current entrants from UK, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Australia. The remainder is also an equal split between Ireland / Northern Ireland. Males out number the Females by just 5% and the Quest (Half Marathon) turnout is almost 60% Female. The Hero entries are still quite low, but keep training as it’s definitely a runner this year. Also it looks like the Quest will out number the Warrior (Marathoners), this will be a first.

So please keep those entries coming and help us to make Quadrathon ’19 the best yet, who said “you can’t improve on perfection”? the Quadrathon does that year after year.
