Roscommon family the McNamaras are a competitive bunch, with interests like boxing, marathon running, GAA, soccer… the list goes on! Among their competitors are the Mahers, who bring a unique blend of talents to the competition, with farmers, electricians, and county footballers and hurlers among their ranks; the Stratfords, who are no strangers to challenges as they thrive in mountain running, kayaking, and the pursuit of “absolute hardship”; and the Penny Taylor family, who are all about pushing their physical limits, with a passion for CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting, show jumping, and competitive swimming.
These fearless families will battle it out for two coveted places in the next round of the competition at a brand-new location – The Farm.
