Cousin inspires Kerryman to cross US in 36-day run and cycle trek

Kerryman and ‘ultra’ athlete Shane Finn (26) is set to undertake a gruelling 5000km coast-to-coast trek across North America in a charity mission inspired by his cousin.

The Dingle native’s epic run and cycle will start on San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge on March 29 and take him across 12 states and terrain that varies wildly, from snow-capped mountains to arid desert.
