Welcome to the 2nd Annual – 2027 White Continent TriathlonTM!

In December 2025 History was made.  A group of 6 brave pioneer triathletes succeeded in completing the first ever swim,  bike, run competition in Antarctica.   Marathon Adventures is happy to be the first, only and pioneer in this arena. This event will be hosted in conjunction with our White Continent 50k, Marathon & Half-Marathon®. The Triathlon will be limited to 20 Triathletes. 

The swim will consist of upto a 400 meter swim, followed by a 20 km bike, and concluded with a 5km run. Final distances will be determined based upon final approval from governmental authorities.

The Tentative dates for the 2027 WCT are: January 17-25, 2027.

We recommend registering as soon as possible as demand is high and spaces are going quickly.

Event Info

The 2027 White Continent TriathlonTM is the only opportunity for those who want to complete a real triathlon (i.e., swim, bike, run) in Antarctica to achieve that goal.

In addition, for those of you who are prone to sea sickness, which is a frequent occurrence when crossing the treacherous Drake Passage, there is no need to worry. We will cross the Drake Passage at a smooth and comfortable 31,000 Feet. As such, you don’t need to be concerned with being sick the day prior to running the marathon, as you might if you were to boat across The Fiery Drake.

Price Info

For the 2027 White Continent TriathlonTM Adventure, the prices are as follows: Double Occupancy (you will be rooming with another person you are traveling with) – $15,350; Single Occupancy (you will have a hotel room to yourself) – $15,950.
