ANTARCTICA MARATHON

March 9, 2026

Held annually since 1995, the Antarctica Marathon is the oldest and longest running sporting event on the world’s least visited and most  inhospitable continent. Each year Marathon Tours and Travel, the race organiser, brings a total of 360 runners and their supporters to this authentic event on two different voyages. There is an additional Ultra 50K on Voyage One.

The Antarctica Tour Package begins with three-nights in Buenos Aires before flying to Ushuaia, which is located at the southern tip of Argentina, to start the voyage to Antarctica. Over several days you will sail through the Beagle Channel across the Drake Passage, through the Shetland Islands and before reaching King George Island – the location of the race events. The course on King George Island has marked gravel roads that connect the scientific research bases of Uruguay, Chile, China and Russia. Great care is taken to leave behind zero impact on the environment in this sensitive ecosystem.
