#2Interesting details missing: how does one run a marathon in Antarctica anyway? Firstly, how do you get down there? And secondly, where do you find a good place to run (ie somewhere where you won't slip on ice or fall into a crevasse?)

1) Set up a plane to Puntas Arenas, Chile.
2) Coordinate with group of other crazy people to fly to Antarctica
3) Bring LOTS of warm clothing.
4) To run, be very careful. Mostly shuffling.
5) Find big ice sheets to run on

don't all ice sheets have crevices? I thought they run on permafrost in Antarctica...
