Emer Buckley

Emer is originally from Limerick, Ireland and was prompted to start running by the fact the rest of her family are runners. She watched the Dublin marathon from the sidelines as relatives ran it every year for more than 20 years and wanted to do it at least once. She took the plunge in 2014 and ran the race, loving it so much she’s run it every year since. In fact, Emer has now also run marathons on five continents and the Antarctic Ice Marathon will be her tenth marathon. She ran races in Dublin and Boston with her mother, and one in Sydney with her brother.
