参加料 (申込み期間)

Running a marathon is an arduous task. Running on snow, in sub-zero temperatures is even more challenging. Participants in the Antarctic Ice Marathon are not required to have previous marathon experience; however, all applicants must be prepared to train properly and should be able to walk or run their race distance very comfortably. Experience in the cold is preferred and will be an asset, but is not essential. The Ice Marathon is the only official marathon run on mainland Antarctica and is a member of the Association of International Marathons & Distance Races (AIMS). It takes place at 80 South, just a few hundred miles from the South Pole in the interior of Antarctica. This is the southernmost marathon on Earth and a unique opportunity to complete a marathon that is truly worthy of the seventh continent. For those who fancy a shorter distance, a half marathon of 13.1 miles (21km) presents a considerable challenge over the same hushed, indomitable terrain. For the toughest endurance athletes, the Antarctic 62.1 miles (100km) Ultra Race completes the amazing line-up of running events. Runners will race a groomed and marked course with snowmobile support, aid stations and medical personnel at hand for the duration of each race.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF TRIP TO ANTARCTICA	Day 1 Fly to Antarctica Fly from Chile to Antarctica by private transport jet. Land on ice runway. Settle in at Union Glacier Camp. Day 2 The Ice Marathon Today we run the Antarctic Ice Marathon. A marked course of 26.2 miles (42 km) will already have been prepared and snowmobile support, aid stations and medical personnel will be at hand for the duration of the race. However, don\'t expect to run your quickest time as winds can blow from the Pole at a steady 10-25 knots. Also, forget about penguins or crowds cheering you along the route - no penguins live this far south and you will have to rely upon yourself to push onward in the hushed, indomitable surroundings. Day 3 Rest Day The following day provides an opportunity to rest and recover. You can relax in camp, go for a walk and recount the previous day’s race. Day 4 Antarctic 100K and Half Marathon Next in the race line-up is the Antarctic 100k. This is undoubtedly, “the world’s coldest 100”, and is reserved for only the toughest of endurance athletes. The 62.1 miles (100km) distance will seem endless, run under a sun that never sets against the backdrop of hills, mountains and large expanses of ice. For those who prefer a half-marathon option, the White Continent Half-Marathon will also be run on the day of the 100km race. This half-marathon is your opportunity to cover 13.1 miles (21km) on the \'white continent\' and finish the southernmost half marathon on the planet. Day 5 Return to Punta Arenas, Chile The aircraft from Punta Arenas will arrive with a new collection of avid explorers and you depart for the final leg of your Antarctic experience. You will arrive at Punta Arenas airport and be transferred to your hotel. * Schedule No two Antarctic experiences are the same. This is part of the excitement and adventure of Antarctic travel. The itinerary above highlights typical activities and experiences. Exact timeline, activities, and details will vary from trip to trip. Trip length may vary by departure. Please anticipate delays and do not plan anything for at least a week after your scheduled return. Allow yourself to enjoy this unique experience without the stress of pending commitments.
