Founded in 2005, the primary goal of the company is to help couch potatoes have fun and get fit enough to run their first Dublin Marathon! We don't just provide a training schedule to get you in shape but we train together as a group once a week to keep each other motivated. With social events organised for our members each month during the training, we keep the momentum going and don't get bored!

We cater to all fitness levels from the pure beginner runner to the experienced Marathoner.

We also have programs for beginner triathletes. For more information on these programs please click the links on the left.
