An extraordinary feat of endurance and determination all in the aim of supporting and bettering the community and changing people’s lives.
The Tri Ultra Relay is not just a race. It’s a severely grueling test of human spirit and resilience, covering almost 300 miles over 2-3 days, non-stop by three athletes.
The Tri Ultra Relay
Dylan De Sousa, George Creed and Declan Ball
First Leg:
English Channel Swim: Declan Ball will brave the frigid, choppy waters of the English Channel, swimming 21 miles unassisted. This treacherous journey is known for its unpredictable currents and bone-chilling temperatures, a challenge fewer people have conquered than have summited Everest.
Second Leg:
50-Mile Coastal Run: As soon as Declan reaches France, George Creed takes over, running 50 miles along the rugged and muddy coastal paths to the Belgian border. This ultra-marathon tests physical and mental fortitude across diverse and unforgiving terrains.
Third Leg:
200-Mile Belgium Cycle. The final leg sees Dylan De Sousa cycling 200 miles from the France-Belgium border through Belgium and into Germany. This relentless ultra-distance ride spans various terrains and weather conditions, demanding unyielding stamina and perseverance.
