About the White Continent Marathon

This expedition-style marathon is a separate product from the Antarctica Marathon already held on King George Island. Flights, camping and a bundled polar itinerary are central to the experience.

Course

The marathon crosses exposed terrain between research bases on King George Island. Natural surface, wind and expedition logistics matter as much as pace, and the route may respond to local conditions.

Race-day weather

Antarctic summer can still deliver freezing wind, snow, rain and rapid changes around the freezing point. Layering, waterproof protection and organizer-mandated gear are fundamental.
