Overview
An Inspiring First-Hand Account of the Most Challenging Marathon Experience on the Planet
"…an unforgettable journey of exploration, discovery and triumph." —Dean Karnazes, New York Times bestselling author, ultramarathoner
The Great World Race is the legendary global endurance event that pushes athletes beyond physical and mental limits—completing seven full marathons on seven continents in just one week. From Antarctica’s frozen terrain to the sweltering heat of South America, runners face brutal conditions, extreme travel, and relentless fatigue, with no margin for error.
In Seven Marathons. Seven Continents. One Week., Ellen Hunter Gans takes readers inside her unforgettable adventure, highlighting the deeply human stories behind one of the world’s most extreme running accomplishments.
Each runner carried a different reason to be there: from the Welsh firefighter running to raise awareness of women in her field; to the first cancer survivor to summit Mount Everest; to Olympians, world-record holders, and extraordinary athletes from everyday life.
Together, they navigate physical pain, sleepless nights, and moments of doubt—forming an unlikely bond as they discover the power of community, humor, and courage in the most unexpected places.
Told from the author’s point of view at the back of the pack, Seven Marathons. Seven Continents. One Week., is a raw, hilarious, and inspiring account, sharing the stories of dozens of race participants. It’s a book about saying yes now and starting before you’re ready.
