Killarney

<h3>If you missed the premiere of &#8216;1000km of Chaos&#8217;, then fear not, you have two more opportunities to see the film.</h3>
The story of Arctic Ultra marathon runner, Killarney man Kevin Leahy, and what it takes to prepare for and complete two 500km non-stop foot races in the Arctic, will once again be shown in Killarney Cinema, on April 28 and May 5.
 Temperatures dip as low as -45&deg;C with Kevin travelling on foot, dragging everything required behind him on a sled, day and night, through sleep deprivation, hunger, exhaustion and the constant imminent threat of frostbite and hypothermia. The races pose a very real threat to his health, his safety and sometimes his sanity. There is no prize money, no gold medal or worldwide acclaim.
 Starting with record breaking runs across mountaintops in Kerry, followed up with a sub 24hr completion of The Kerry Way Ultra Marathon and culminating in 2 x 500km Arctic Ultra Races; The Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra and The Montane Lapland Arctic Ultra, both races just three weeks apart.
 Filmed over two years by Adrian McCarthy, against the challenging restrictions of the pandemic, this test of body, mind and spirit takes place in some of the most beautiful, remote and harsh conditions in Ireland, The Yukon and Swedish Lapland. Providing a deep insight into what it takes for an amateur Irish Ultra Runner to train, prepare for and complete the toughest challenge anyone could imagine.
 &#8220;We were blown away by the support we received locally and are delighted to be able to show the film exclusively in Killarney again,&#8221; Kevin told the Killarney Advertiser.
 Adrian added that it has been an &#8220;amazing few years&#8221; filming everything Kevin has managed to achieve both in Kerry and The Arctic.
 &#8220;It was a story I felt needed to be told, and was lucky that it all came together so well despite all the challenges.&#8221;
