PCC Falcarragh teacher Shaun Stewart wins 316-kilometre endurance race in record time

written by Alan Foley May 16, 2016

CREESLOUGH NATIVE SHAUN STEWART yesterday won the gruelling 316-kilmetre non-stop 26 Extreme Coast to Coast in record time.

A teacher at PCC Falcarragh, Stewart set off at lunchtime on Saturday in the non-stop event, coming in at Newcastle in Co Down ahead of the field.

The 31-year-old completed the course in a time of 16 hours and 45 minutes for the event, which is dubbed “toughest multi-sport race in Ireland and one of the toughest in Europe.”

It is made up for 5km run for starters, before a 107km cycle and then a 26.5km kayak. Following that, there’s an additional 122km  cycle and a 35km across the Mourne mountains in darkness.

Stewart is the co-founder of the Donegal Atlantic Way Ultra Race with Sean McFadden, the Letterkenny native who won the Race – Ireland’s only 24-hour endurance event – in 2015 and the Wild Atlantic Adventure Race on Saturday.
