The Antarctic Ice Marathon is one of the world's most extreme endurance races, taking place on the coldest, driest, and windiest continent on Earth. Held annually at the Union Glacier camp in Antarctica, this race is run over the standard 42.195 km (26.2 miles) marathon distance, challenging participants with sub-zero temperatures, strong winds, and an altitude of approximately 700 meters (2,300 feet) above sea level. The race route is set against a breathtaking, pristine polar landscape, providing runners with an unparalleled adventure in one of the most remote locations on the planet.
The event features an individual competition with male and female divisions, where athletes from around the globe test their physical and mental resilience against the harsh Antarctic conditions. Competitors must contend with an uneven snow and ice surface, requiring specialized gear, including insulated running shoes, multiple layers of thermal clothing, and face protection to guard against frostbite.
For those seeking a shorter but equally formidable challenge, the Frozen Continent Half Marathon is run concurrently with the marathon, covering 21.1 km (13.1 miles). Like the full marathon, this event demands exceptional endurance and determination, as runners navigate the icy terrain and battle the elements.
The Antarctic Ice Marathon is not only a test of athletic ability but also a bucket-list adventure for extreme sports enthusiasts, marathon collectors, and those striving to complete marathons on all seven continents. The race is officially recognized as the southernmost marathon on Earth, providing an extraordinary opportunity to run in a location few people ever visit.
Participants must undergo careful preparation and acclimatization before embarking on this unique race, with organizers offering logistical support, safety briefings, and guidance on essential cold-weather running techniques. Due to the remote nature of the event, entry slots are limited, and competitors must adhere to strict environmental and safety protocols.
Whether conquering the full marathon or the half marathon, those who take on the Antarctic Ice Marathon join an exclusive group of endurance athletes who have raced at the bottom of the world.

The Reggae Marathon & Half Marathon is Jamaica’s premier International Marathon Event. Marathoners, sports enthusiasts as well as beginners, converge in Negril, Jamaica’s capital of casual, for a fun event characterized by good vibes and lots of Reggae music.
Enthusiastic supporters come out along the looped, internationally certified course to support participants. Meanwhile, hard working volunteers offer uniquely packaged water and re-hydration fluids at every mile. The pulsating Reggae music on course also keeps participants in an “irie” spirit, as they burn the mileage.
Other related Marathon events, like the internationally rated gourmet Pasta Party and Registration & Expo, have participants and supporters alike, humming with activity. The Finish Line Beach Bash affords everyone an opportunity to relax on the beach with special offerings and entertainment geared towards having the best time.
All in all, the Reggae Marathon Event is uniquely Jamaican with an international appeal.
What started as a loose collection of runners at Kingston’s local reservoir, Mona Dam, affectionately called “The Dam”, became a club – the Jamdammers – in June 1995. Over the past years, the Club has grown both in size (over 100 members) and stature by re-writing the book on road racing in Jamaica.The annual Reggae Marathon Grand Prix Series presented by the Jamdammers and our premier event – the Reggae Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K – have become staples of local and international road race calendars.
Despite these lofty achievements, however, one thing remains constant – the Club’s mandate and mission to promote a healthy lifestyle through distance running and to put Negril and Jamaica on the map as a world class marathon destination.
In keeping with the Jamdammers’ overall mandate, the presentation of the Reggae Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K has blossomed into an international event, included in the world’s ten best marathon events.
