Antarctica just hosted its first-ever backwards mile race! Held at Union Glacier Camp, participants ran a full mile in reverse across the frozen terrain while braving frigid temperatures of -5°C (23°F). Some runners added extra flair by competing in penguin and snowman costumes, while others fell on the icy surface but kept going. Frederic Aubry of Canada took the crown as the overall winner, crediting his soccer background for his backwards running skill. Amy Ellett, also from Canada, won the women’s category. This unique race was staged as part of the Antarctic Ice Marathon weekend, giving stranded marathon runners a fun and challenging way to pass the time. Watch the drone footage and highlights from the first-ever Antarctic backwards mile race! #Antarctica #BackwardsMile #IceMarathon #AntarcticRace #PenguinRunner #SnowmanRunner #ExtremeRunning #FrozenFun #AntarcticaAdventure #SportsNews #MarathonHighlights #FirstEverRace

I’ve been playing Speedgolf for 8 years (not competitive, just for fun). I’m a golfer who loves running, and with kids and a busy life, it’s the only way I can get out on the course recreationally. I can get in 18 and a 6 mile run before work. #speedgolfsocal #itsabouttime
