Damien Cunningham

Damien is a proud native of Mourne in County Down. Currently 57 years young, Damien has been an avid runner for over two decades, finding immense fulfillment in this rewarding sport. Running has not only brought him joy but also remarkable achievements. Throughout his running journey, Damien has been fortunate enough to not only participate in but successfully complete the World Marathon Majors, the iconic Great Wall Marathon, and many coveted and sought-after marathons, pushing his limits and embracing the challenges they present. In addition to marathons, Damien has also tackled several ultra marathons, with his most recent accomplishment being the Comrades in South Africa. Unfortunately, the global pandemic disrupted his plans in 2020, but he adapted by completing the demanding 56-mile distance at his home in Ireland. Damien's aiming to complete the Sydney Marathon in September, followed by the Antarctic Ice Marathon in December, which will be his 54th marathon, and the seventh continent. Damien finds running to be a fulfilling and social sport that challenges him mentally while offering rewarding experiences. It serves as a great way for him to see the world and raise money for charity along the way.
