Imagine starting your first marathon out of seven in Antarctica with a temperature of –15 °F. When Linda Carrier ran the World Marathon Challenge in 2019, that’s where she started. The World Marathon Challenge is a logistical as well as a physical challenge. In 2019, runners started in Novolazarevskaya, Antarctica; then flew to Cape Town, South Africa; Perth, Australia; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Madrid, Spain; Santiago, Chile; and finished in Miami, Florida, USA. Linda ran in both the 2019 and 2020 races. For the 2020 race, the weather was so bad in Antarctica that they swapped the first two locations and ran in Cape Town first.
