From MayFest to Mizen2Malin to the Meta Marathon Man this episode criss-crosses Ireland and southern England.

We hit the spot vox popping with 12 Vision Sports Ireland MayFesters including a couple just married. We also meet the man who has attended over 30 MayFests and his friend who travels from Switzerland each year to provide support.

Maureen Madden takes us on the gruelling Mizen2Malin cycle to raise funds for Irish Guide Dogs. Tandem stoker Maureen tells us of being wiped out by weather in Cork and Kerry but preparing the sun screen for the hills of Donegal.

Clarke Reynolds recalls his unique history making Brighton Marathon. He donned the Ai Ray-Bans and availed of support from the Be My Eyes team to avoid hitting the wall. But, how did he pull this together?
