295.4 Kilometres of Pain

Steve and I are always up for a challenge.

What better than a challenge to run a full marathon on every continent across the globe?

At 42.2km a piece, my calculator confidently tells me that we will cover a total distance of 295.4km. My doubtful mind tells me that it will be 295.4km of absolute pain.

We will run amongst the wildlife of the African savannah.

We will come face-to-face with icebergs, penguins and seals in the Antarctic.

We will take on 5164 steps across the Great Wall of China.

We will run through the iconic streets of London, along the River Thames.

We will make our way through the famous five boroughs of The Big Apple, New York City.

We will tackle the red earth of the Australian outback with Ayers Rock and The Olgas in our sights.

We will weave through the streets of Rio de Janeiro with the ocean to our right, the mountains to our left.

Yes, I think this will be a worthy challenge indeed.

295.4 kilometres of pain.

295.4km filled with unmatched memories of a lifetime.
