Sean Conway

Sean Conway is the first and only person in history to complete the Ultimate British Triathlon cycling, swimming and running the length of Britain. The 900mswim from Lands End to John O’Groats was a world-first and defied the critics who thought it impossible. In 2015, Sean completed the final leg, running 1,014 miles to officially complete the first-ever Ultimate British Triathlon.

The resulting documentary on Discovery Channel won Sean many new fans for his courage and humour: as several newspaper headlines put it, Britain now had its own inspiring Forrest Gump. Sean has completed the world’s longest triathlon. In 2016, Sean took on an even bigger challenge: a self-supported continuous triathlon around the coast of Britain. Sean cycled, ran and swam more than 4,000 miles (the equivalent distance of London to New Delhi). Sean pushed his limits beyond anything he has done before and the considerable public support (especially via social media)made a real difference.

A series on Discovery TV followed Sean’s challenge. In April 2018 in Cabo de Roca on the west coast of Portugal, Sean cycled 4,500 miles across Europe, finishing at the Russian town of Ufa.Sean achieved this across the Europe Cycle world record unsupported and carrying all of his kit with him. Widely admired for his endurance, courage, humour and inimitable style, Sean is a popular and entertaining motivational speaker.
