YOUR GLOBAL TEAM

---

Founder. The Extreme man in the kilt.

Sat bolt upright seeing Celtman on TV. Then found Norseman on YouTube and was instantly transfixed. Booked his first triathlon and the rest is history.

Started the Forum in 2019 and leads the group. Raced at Braveheart, Hispaman, Celtman and Norseman.

Leads on strategy, key relationships, race onboarding & promotion and athlete growth.

Co-Founder. Dave's friend who in 2019 got a place at Roth, then got a Norseman slot, then qualified for Kona. So he quit his job and did the Holy Trinity of Triathlon in the same year.

Strategy input, moderation and membership review.  Also American, so part of our focus on enticing the USA more into this sport.

A Yorkshireman, in Norway.

Five time finisher at ThorXtri.

Has also raced Norseman, Celtman and TriathlonX. 

Moderator & Adviser. Input on communications. Forum posts.

Dave's friend and Edinburgh Pentlands Club Triathlon teammate. Dave supported Col at Celtman 2021. And Col supported Dave at Celtman 2022. 

Moderator and Advisor.

Dave's mentor and tormentor. :)

Most prolific Celtman, and creator and Race Director of ThorXtri and RockMan SwimRun. Also runs the Celtman Forum.

Thor was a massive support to Dave as he established the Forum, showing Dave how fantastic the independent races were, and also suggesting creating an Advisors Group.

Stood back from the team recently 'for more Thor time' but still provides Dave ongoing advice, guidance and banter. Lots of banter.

Race onboarding and Race Catalogue Mgt, and general Adviser.

Probably the most experienced Extreme Triathlete on the planet. He's just completed 40 full distances races, doing it in Ukraine at Karpatyman.

Sean founded Knysna Extreme in 2018 to create something new and exciting in his home town. It’s now been rated the best triathlon in South Africa for the past 6 years. He's also a key member of the Extreme Triathlon Series. 

Sean also organises a large variety of other races from cycle tours, road runs, MTB races and ultra-trail events.  

He's personally raced at Austria Extreme, Ironman and many other events, so has great athlete insight also.

Daniel is Founder and Race Director of the Poland Extreme Triathlon Series. He was a national youth team athlete and professional ice hockey player. He also loves mountains and triathlon. So 8 years ago with his closest friends he founded the Diablak Extreme Triathlon. He now runs 5 mountain triathlons, an extreme duathlon, and an ultra extreme triathlon across Poland.

Daniel is also an active triathlete, marathon and ultra runner. He completed Karpatyman in Ukraine last year, which shows his compassion. With his holistic awareness he cares as much about training as he does about a balanced life.

Race representation & engagement, and general Adviser.

Multiple extreme races & podiums.

Sports writer (220 Magazine, etc). Presenter (Adventure Show), Events consultant, respected coach. Has advised and helped test many races in the past, and remains key in doing so now for Global.

 Greg has completed seven Xtri races. Celtman white in 2015. Then Celtman blue in 2017 and Swissman a week later. In 2018 he raced the first Janosik and in 2019 completed a challenging 19hr Hispaman. In 2023 he raced Black Lake and, after ten years of trying, finally finished at Norseman in 2024.

Greg's enthusiasm for our races and his love for Scotland have also led him to support others at Celtman on four occasions: once as a solo supporter in 2016 and three times as a support runner in 2018, 2019, and 2024, helping all his athletes achieve Blue finishes, something he's almost as proud of as he is of his own race results.

The friendliest chattiest guy, always smiling.

 Liam has completed four extreme races, placing strongly in them all. Celtman 2015, white T. Celtman 2019, blue T. Plus two hearty Scottish halfs, Starman and Braveheart.

But it is for supporting and helping that he is even more revered. He has supported on 11 Xtri's: Celtman x6, Janosik, Hispaman, Swissman, and Norseman. He has gained a lot of valuable knowledge and experience, getting his athletes across the finish line, even in thunderstorms in complete darkness. Plus, he can conjure up any item at any time for struggling athletes.

But he didn't even mention his Chris Stirling Award when I asked for his bio, that's the kind of guy he is. We all love Liam. 

 Partner of David Chapman. Took part in triathlon and ultra running before injury and an operation halted the fun.

Was introduced to the extreme triathlon world by David and has supported him at about 15 races so far.

Total people person. Always smiling and positive. Always happy to help any athlete and supporter on race day.

But she's also a working mother, wife and someone who prioritises relationships with friends over time spent continuously moving.

"People need to know we are all normal humans with lives and jobs, and not the superhuman athletes Xtri makes you look like.  It's for everyone from the professionally coached, to the self confessed 'winging it' types - like me.  It can change your life, it has changed mine, and is worth every bit of investment it requires",

 His pedigree is as strong as his banter. Celtman Blue, Norseman Black, Head Coach at XTRI World Tour (10+ Celtman each year, mostly Blue's). Dave's Crew Chief at Norseman.
