What was the course like? Watch this.




I have been asked numerous times what it was like in Antarctica and to run a race there. One of the runners, Chad Leathers, ran the course with a helmet camera and captured wonderful footage, as well as his very honest opinions of the course along the way (note--this is a PG-13 commentary). I share this video with many thanks to Chad for having enough strength to film this and complete the marathon. If you are inspired by the video and this experience, please take a look at the NF Team Extreme website: http://ctf.org/NFETblog/about/. Chad and eleven other runners traveled to Antarctica as part of a concerted effort to find a cure for a pretty frustrating disorder called neurofibromatosis (NF), which causes tumors to grow anywhere in the body. NF occurs in 1 in every 3,000 births.
