About the White Continent 50k, Marathon & Half-Marathon
Welcome to the 12th Annual - 2027 White Continent Marathon & 1/2 Marathon®! For 2027, we will once again camp overnight on King George Island, Antarctica. During the race, runners will be cheered on by penguins and seals. Following the races our runners have been able to enjoy excursions to a penguin colony, where they saw Gentoo, Adelie & Chinstrap penguins. They have also explored the nearby Russian Research base and their ornate Orthodox Church. Those options may be available in 2027 as well…
