"The most awesome thing in the world." (about: 2014)
4-5 previous marathons
| 1 Baikal Ice Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 1 26 miles of frozen lake in the middle of Siberia, at -20oC. What's not to like? No one cheering you on, just your own thoughts, the sound of ice cracking/booming, knowing a mile of water is under you, occasionally another runner, and tip top watering stations with warm tea and food. Organisation pretty good on the course(hovercrafts!!), OK accommodation for two nights, a great sense of camaraderie, and an awesome after race party. Not only the best race I've done, one of the best experiences I've ever had. |
