On 12th December 2017, the family took a 28-hour flight (including transits) to reach Punta Arenas; the southern tip of Chile. There, the runners were informed of inclement weather in Antarctica which caused flight delays. After 2 days of waiting around, the organizers decided to hold the Magellan Marathon, Chile to save time. The weather wasn’t that great in Chile too as the Patagonian wind was extremely strong and the kids found hard running on the Punta Arenas promenade along the Southern Ocean. However, they managed to complete the race to secure their 2nd continent finish after Europe.Two days later, the weather in Antarctica cooperated and the runners were flown in to King George Island on Saturday morning. With legs still heavy from running a full marathon two day earlier, the kids started the race 30 minutes after getting off the plane. The KGI Classic Marathon, Antarctica was tough as it took place in December which is the end of the spring season. So, within two days the kids ran 42km in grueling conditions on both continents. The underfoot conditions in Antarctica were extremely rough with snow, slush and gravel covering the course. The temp was about -10c (with wind-chill) which is about 40c colder than the temp is in where they live.Their 4th continent of the quest was Africa. Barely 4 days after coming back from South America, the family took a 9-hour flight to Johannesburg. This time it was just a weekend trip for an ultra-marathon in Pretoria. The event took place at an altitude of 6,000 ft above sea-level in a state park. Still sore from the marathons in Antarctica and South America, the siblings completed the 42.2km race to record their 3rd marathon finish in 3 continents within 14 days.Los Angeles, USA was chosen as their 5th continent marathon which was planned during the school mid-term break. It was again a 16 hour flight from Doha to Los Angeles but this time it was a one week trip which included plenty of sightseeing and relaxation.
