That there is actually a marathon run on the Antarctic! It is crazy and limited to just 20 people. I have been complaining about the weather this week and will continue to do so with nearly five more inches of snow coming followed by sub-zero wind chills. But this article gets me right in the gut!
Cross country and mountain runners certainly have to race in some appalling weather conditions, and the average club runner or journeyman jogger might understandably curse about having to occasionally train in the cold and wet of winter but ladies and gentlemen you have nothing to complain about compared to the intrepid competitors who take part in the Antarctic Ice Marathon & 100k each year.
100k is astounding as well in which three people competed. 13-18 hours in a run in the Antarctic. Wow.
MEN'S 100 KM
1. Marc de Keyser (BEL) - 12:49:51
2. Jukka Viljanen (FIN) - 14:01:20
WOMEN'S 100 KM
1. Pushpa Chandra (CAN) - 18:33:08
