Run Antarctica

Run Antarctica is a world-first, Guinness World Records™ attempt by Donna Urquhart to complete the longest ultramarathon in a polar region in history.

Ultra-marathon runner and pain scientist, Donna Urquhart, is embarking on a challenge to set a new Guinness World Record for the longest polar ultra-marathon.

The attempt will take place at Union Glacier Camp in Antarctica, the coldest, windiest and driest desert on earth, on 14th December 2023.

Donna aims to surpass Pat Farmer’s impressive run of 1200km from Union Glacier to the South Pole as part of his Pole-to-Pole expedition.

While pushing through sub-zero temperatures and up to 100km/h winds, Donna will share evidence-based strategies on how it is possible to achieve such feats with a combination of mental and physical strength.

Donna has set an ambitious goal to raise $1.5 million for charities supporting young girls and women in sport by delivering educational training programs that strengthen and empower the body and mind.
