Marathon Grand Slam

3/8/2017

The Marathon Grand Slam Club? What in the world is that? If you asked me this question in 2015, that would be my answer. In 2016, things changed drastically after I drank the Kool-Aid at a cool place: the North Pole!

The Marathon Grand Slam Club is comprised of runners who have completed a marathon on each of the Seven Continents and on the Arctic Ocean at the North Pole Marathon. Thanks to the friends I met from the 2016 North Pole Marathon who have completed the Marathon Grand Slam, this immediately became my bucket list item.

First Marathon On Land

7/23/2016

After my first ever marathon in North Pole, which was run on water over the Arctic Ocean, I signed up for Cairns Marathon in Australia following my 9-day Kokoda Track backpacking. Technically, this would be my first marathon on land and on an actual continent. Even though the back to back trekking and running would be physically challenging, it will take me one step closer to my Marathon Grand Slam (one marathon on all seven continents plus the North Pole) goal. Australia, here I come!
