Antarctic Ice Marathon

Antarctic Ice Marathon ® takes place at 80 Degrees South, just a few hundred miles from the South Pole at the foot of the Ellsworth Mountains.
‍
This race presents a truly formidable and genuine Antarctic challenge with underfoot conditions comprising snow and ice throughout, an average windchill temperature of -20C, and the possibility of strong Katabatic winds to contend with. Furthermore, the event takes place at an altitude of 700 meters.

The Antarctic Ice Marathon is run in the interior of Antarctica, not on King George Island outside the Antarctic Circle, and is organized by the same people who bring you the annual North Pole Marathon ®.
