Wexford ultra runner David Kelleher from Rosslare Strand has been officially selected to represent Ireland at the upcoming World Skyrunning Masters Championships in Karlovo, Bulgaria.
The honour was marked by a special presentation of the Irish team jersey from lan Conroy, three-time World Mountain Running Champion, who will also be competing for Ireland at the event.
David will take on the brutal Vertical Kilometre race — an extreme test that challenges athletes to climb over 1,000 metres of elevation in less than five kilometres.
The race unfolds on the steep slopes of the Balkan Mountains, a rugged landscape known for its wild terrain, freezing temperatures and wildlife.
This will be David’s second time representing Ireland on the international stage.
