Maltese Athlete Has Two Super Human Races Lined Up In Aid Of Abandoned Animals

Spiteri is launching Project 100 in an attempt to raise €100,000 between both events for local animal shelters that often benefit from Spiteri’s charitable work.

His first event commences on 24th June and it’s the 5 x Ironman World Championships in France which is made up of a 19km swim, 900km bike ride, and 211km run.

Spiteri already did this race two years ago in 111 hours; he’ll be using this race for a buildup to the next one.

Following that, on 1st September, Spiteri will be embarking on the Deca 10 x Ironman in Italy – a race that only a few people in the world manage to finish. It consists of a 38km swim, a 1,800km bike ride and a 422km run.

Spiteri attempted this race for the first time last year in Brazil but he failed to finish it after getting severe blisters which ended up infected.

“I’m going to try to be the first Maltese to finish and one of the sub-100 people in the world who manage to finish the race,” he told Lovin Malta.
