7 Marathons

The Great World Race

Over a seven-day period from November 15th-21st 2026, my daughter Ingrid and I will do our best to complete a marathon on each of the 7 continents, starting at the end of the world: Antarctica.

At 16 years old, Ingrid is positioned to set a Guinness World Record as the youngest person to complete this 7-day challenge.
