Gowran man David Carter is taking on a mammoth task in the first week of November as he is going to run six ultra marathons across six counties in six days in an attempt to raise vital funds for three local and national organisations.
David is going to run 50KM every day across routes in Kilkenny, Carlow, Kildare, Wexford, Waterford and Tipperary in memory of his late father Charlie Carter senior, who passed away in early 2010.
The final day of running is on Saturday, November 9, which would have been Charlie’s 75th birthday. David will finish his 300km of running in Gowran, where he hurled with Young Irelands.
