Few experiences in life are as inspiring as the freedom of hitting the open road. I discovered this at a young age when I received my first pair of running shoes. I went as far and as fast as my legs could carry me and did it all over again the next day. Eventually I got to the point where I wanted to keep going, to keep venturing past the comforts of familiar scenery and explore the wider world at my fingertips.

Few experiences in life are as inspiring as the freedom of hitting the open road. I discovered this at a young age when I received my first pair of running shoes. I went as far and as fast as my legs could carry me and did it all over again the next day. Eventually I got to the point where I wanted to keep going, to keep venturing past the comforts of familiar scenery and explore the wider world at my fingertips. It was a decision that would open a realm of possibilities I never envisioned. Ulster Coastal Run: A Running and Sometimes Walking Adventure, was born from the impossible combination of restlessness and my love of running. Long have I desired to cover every beach, peninsula, coastal nook and cranny comprising almost 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) of the province. It has been a journey of three years, at times stretching my limits to their breaking point. It began on a cold February day in Omeath in 2017. Together with a pair of accomplished runners, we would set forth on the grand adventure of a lifetime. Our quest was one of honour, for we were running to raise money for Clifton Special School in Bangor Co. Down where my son Brian studies. I was also inspired and so proud that Brian joined me on a few of the walking stages. Ulster Coastal Run describes spectacular beaches, friendly villagers, Atlantic storms, a quick sprint through a prison, seeing the 'Garden of Eden' (that's just outside Carrickfergus!) and crossing 'one man's pass' over the cliffs of Slieve League in Donegal. It is a story of love and inspiration. One that has yet to end as I set my sights on the rest of Ireland.
