Trekking Antarctica
Trekking Antarctica 3.05.2020 Press Coverage

Imagine running a 13-mile course in crisp temperatures between 15 F and 34 F minus the wind chill and against 35 mph winds while maintaining your footing along the muddy terrain, all for the sake of saying you “did it.” You may ask why someone would aspire to complete such an onerous task voluntarily. Carmel residents Dr. Matthew and Holly Abbott share why they chose to make the voyage to Antarctica and what they have taken away from this unique and truly awesome experience only a small percentage of humans are willing and able to accomplish.Read More

Pacha Outruns the Cold in Antarctica Marathon
Pacha Outruns the Cold in Antarctica Marathon 5.01.2019 Press Coverage

Nick Pacha, Superintendent of Parks for the City of Washington, said running is something he has only recently gotten into. “I did kind of every sport in high school and played football in college,” he said. After college, Pacha picked up running as a new hobby and eventually worked his way up to run his first marathon in Chicago in 2006. He ran the Chicago Marathon again in 2007 and 2010 before finding a company, Marathon Tours and Travel, that did destination marathons. The founders of the company are also the founders of the Seven Continents Club, an exclusive group for people who have the goal to run marathons or half-marathons on all seven continents.Read More

12 Amazing Ways to Explore Antarctica
12 Amazing Ways to Explore Antarctica 8.14.2018 Announcements

Marathon runners are known for their casual brags about race times and courses. If you want to win every conversation, though, you should run a marathon on Antarctica. You read that right—you can actually run a marathon on Antarctica, and so many people are crazy enough to do it that the event sells out three years in advance. Thom Gilligan started the Antarctica Marathon & Half-Marathon in 1995, then went on to found the Seven Continents Club to celebrate the first four runners who completed a marathon on every continent. You can leave your crampons behind—the course is entirely made of dirt roads, and it starts and finishes outside the Russian base on Antarctica. Runners must be hardy—they will have to be self-sufficient and “cannot expect any access to indoor facilities.” (So no Gatorade rest stations then?)Read More
