July 2012: Ultra running athletes have never received any financial support from Athletics Ireland, the national athletics body. The development of the sport to the highest international standards until 2012 was funded by Polar Running Adventures via sponsorship of UltraRunning Ireland international athletes and competitions.

Polar Running Adventures organises the North Pole Marathon and Antarctic Ice Marathon and its sponsorship included financing the 2010 World 50km Trophy Final in Galway and the 2011 Trail World Championships in Connemara. Polar Running Adventures additionally financed the hosting of the 2009 Anglo Celtic Plate (Home Nations) 100km in Galway.
