Antarctic Polar Race

The Antarctic Polar Race incorporates a variety of athletics distances and disciplines ranging from 1 mile to 100 miles. The main event will be the standard 26.2-mile marathon, but there are options for shorter distances and ultramarathons of 100km and 100 miles. A bike race and duathlon may also be operated, subject to demand. The 2024 event will double as the first ever Antarctica Athletics Federation championships, with continental titles on offer. Your entry to the event includes the option of running a marathon distance in Cape Town on return from Antarctica. The Lion’s Head Marathon will incorporate a six-loop course on the beautiful Seapoint Promenade.
