Marathon Men, the documentary which follows Gerry Duffy and Ken Whitelaw as they strive to run 32 full marathons for charity in 32 consecutive days - one marathon in each county on the island of Ireland - airs on RTÉ2 on Sunday December 21, at 8:00pm.
The press release for the acclaimed film says: "Gerry Duffy and Ken Whitelaw embarked on this incredible challenge - their aim to inspire people all over the country to come out and run their first ever marathons and to raise funds (over half a million Euro) and awareness for Autism Ireland."
It adds: "The film follows over two years of planning and months of exhaustive training for this unprecedented test of endurance, a challenge that would become much more than just a mark of personal triumph: it would be one of the greatest amateur sporting achievements in Irish history."
