About Connor Emeny

Connor Emeny is an endurance athlete and optimist living out the mantra; Dare to Dream.

Connor is the youngest person on Earth to have completed an Ironman on all seven continents. Even prior to the achievement, he held the World Record for being the youngest person to complete an Ironman on six continents. Adding the seventh—culminating a four-year journey—puts him into true icon territory.

The seven continent expedition took four years to complete, but ‘chasing Antarctica’ proved to be the most challenging – and included a 23-day sailboat excursion with a team of seven crossing the Drake Passage, home to some of the roughest and most dangerous waters in the world.

Connor wants to share this experience with the world and encourage people to explore their limits, go ALL IN on a dream and challenge those around them to do the same.

“I really live by the notion that anything is possible, and anyone can achieve anything they put their mind to. I hope to inspire people out there to dare to dream and then make it happen. To accomplish my dream is amazing. To do it with my brother, Mom and best friend by my side is absolutely everything.”
