Rathangan's Sean Murphy has completed 12 marathons in 2025 - one a month - along with his friend Denis Conlan, who joined him on the road for some of his endeavours.  

Marathon number 12 was completed on Saturday December 13. Heading from Rathangan GAA at 7am for 22kms out to Clonbullogue, around by Bracknagh and back to the clubhouse and finishing with two 10k loops around by Glenaree and Cappanargid, members of the Rathangan Runners Club lent their support along with family and friends.

As of today, €19,117 has been raised for the Irish Cancer Society. 

"Cancer has affected almost every family and I wanted to do something to make a difference. Thank you for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me," said Sean.
The Go Fund Me page will remain open until December 31.
