The ultimate running adventure

For runners seeking the ultimate challenge wrapped in luxury, discovery, and global camaraderie, this is the experience of a lifetime.

Your journey begins in Buenos Aires, where you’ll meet fellow adventurers from across the globe and soak in the vibrant culture before flying to Ushuaia, the southernmost city on Earth. From there, you’ll board the Ocean Victory, a state-of-the-art expedition vessel offering spacious rooms, gourmet dining, panoramic lounges, and wellness amenities like a spa and fitness center.

As you sail across the legendary Drake Passage, anticipation builds for the upcoming race. Once you arrive at King George Island, you’ll run a marathon, half-marathon, or ultramarathon across gravel or snow-covered roads linking international research bases. You’ll be surrounded by glaciers, seals, and curious penguins – and while the terrain is rugged and the weather raw, the achievement is unforgettable.

But the adventure doesn’t stop at the finish line. Each day brings new excursions: hike across icy ridges, get up close with penguin colonies, and kayak among towering icebergs with the occasional whale sighting. Zodiac landings take you ashore to explore untouched landscapes, while onboard experts share insights into Antarctica’s fragile yet beautiful ecosystem. It’s a sensory-rich, soul-stirring journey that is unique, remote, and deeply rewarding.

For many, this race also marks a key step in an extraordinary quest: completing a marathon, half-marathon, or ultramarathon on all seven continents. The Seven Continents Club® (SCC), founded by Marathon Tours & Travel, celebrates runners who’ve conquered the globe one race at a time to achieve this considerable accomplishment. With only 1,326 Seven Continents Club® Finishers worldwide, 808 men and 518 women, it’s a badge of honor that represents grit, adventure, and global camaraderie. During this journey, many runners find Antarctica to be the crown jewel.

Don’t miss out, this is your chance to combine athletic achievement with an unforgettable expedition to one of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth. With limited availability and high demand, now is the time to secure your place for the 2026 Antarctica Marathon® Voyage Two. If you need more time to plan, pre-registration is now open for the 2027 Antarctica Marathon®.
