At the age of 17, the Scotsman took up triathlon at the 2005 New Year’s Day Triathlon in Edinburgh. After a decade of short course racing, a career that included a silver medal at the 2011 U23 World Championships, McNamee turned his attention to long course racing in 2015.

In 2015, McNamee made his Ironman debut in South Africa and finished seventh. Later that year he won Ironman UK. Most recently, on triathlon’s biggest stage – the Ironman World Championship, McNamee finished third in 2017 and 2018.
