About Antarctica
Antarctica is the southernmost continent on Earth, known for its extreme cold, vast ice sheets, and unique ecosystem. It's the driest, highest, and windiest continent on earth, with temperatures that can plummet well below freezing. Antarctica has no native human population and is primarily inhabited by scientific researchers. This remote continent is governed by the Antarctic Treaty System, which promotes international cooperation for peaceful and scientific purposes.
Where the race is held
You’ll enter the continent via Wolf’s Fang, where participants will run a spectacular two-loop course to complete the marathon distance. The GPS coordinates are 71º 32' ” South 8º 50' East.
We expect our race temperatures to be -5C to -8C, though participants should be prepared for it being colder.
