Antarctic Ice Marathon & 100k ultra race

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Antarctic Ice Marathon was established by Richard Donovan[1] and Polar Running Adventures to enable marathon runners to complete a marathon on all seven continents. It also enables athletes to complete the marathon grand slam – a marathon on all seven continents and the North Pole.[2]

Runnings of the Antarctic Ice Marathon and 100 km (62 mi) race[1] have taken place at 80° south just a few hundred miles from the South Pole at the foot of the Ellsworth Mountains.[3] Participants are flown from Punta Arenas, Chile to the race location in the interior of the Antarctic and experience sub-zero temperatures and 24 hours of daylight while there.[3]
