Biography Gerry Duffy

Aged 43, Gerry has been  employed in a wide range of fields during his business career, with a background in the travel and property sectors.  An author, a motivational speaker and a qualified fitness instructor, Gerry has been self- employed for the past nine years. Back in 1995 he dropped over 4 stone in weight  as he recognised that he had a significant weight problem. This resulted in him taking up running at the age of 27. His sporting CV is filled with accomplishments that many would deem impossible. He firmly believes that  human beings can do so much more than we give ourselves credit for and is keen in leading by example.  In addition, his first book , WHO DARES, RUNS went into the Top 4 list of Best Selling Books in Ireland within 6 weeks of its release.

 

His list of notable accomplishments to date include:

  • Three Ironman Distance Triathlons (2.4 Mile Swim, 112 Mile Cycle, 26.2 mile run)
  • One DOUBLE Ironman Triathlon (4.8 mile swim, 224 mile cycle, 52.4 mile run)
  • In the summer of 2010 along with Ken Whitelaw, Gerry ran 32 Marathons in just 32 Days. In the process over €500,000 was raised for Irish charities.
  • * One DECA Ironman (24 Mile Swim, 1160 mile cycle and 262 mile run)

* In  June 2011 Gerry along with 19 other competitors went to the start line of the inaugural UK DECA Enduroman Ironman Challenge. Dubbed the ‘Toughest 10 Day Endurance event in the World’ , Gerry finished first by over 22 hours.
