Managing Director Chris Goodfellow Joins Team GB for the 2025 One Water Race – The World’s Toughest Endurance Challenge
When it comes to pushing the limits of human endurance, few races compare to the One Water Race. This brutal test of physical and mental strength sees athletes tackle 250 km of continuous running and open-water swimming across Sweden’s unforgiving Stockholm Archipelago. And in 2025, our own Chris Goodfellow, Managing Director of Advent Research Materials, will be at the start line—competing as part of Team 4 – Great Britain.
