Beyond Limits

in association with MTU and KerrySciTech

Unleash your adventurous streak with our high energy, motivating and inspiring event on 10th May at 7pm.

Ever been crippled by the thought of starting something new, embarking on a big adventure or leaving your comfort zone? Worried that after the last year of restrictions, you’ve been zapped of all your energy?

Come join Shane Finn and Karen Weekes who will let you in on their secrets to achieving the seemingly impossible and help you harness the power of your mind for your next adventure – whether that’s as challenging as taking part in an ultra- marathon or running your first mile.

With an awe inspiring list of personal endurance challenges to their names – Shane and Karen will bring you on their own adventures, sharing their tips, tricks and tools for staying focused and motivated when times get hard…

Sprinkled with upbeat stories and tales from their own expeditions, this fun and engaging event is focused on energising the audience and explaining the important links between physical and mental health and its impact on performance at work, school, college or completing your first triathlon.
