Adriana Istrate

Adriana is a banking consultant working for the BCR Banca pentru Locuinte. After completing the Bucharest International Marathon in 2013 and the Transmaraton ultra in 2014, she wondered what to do next to test her limits and the Antarctic Ice Marathon & 100k became the first two competitions of her “7 continents” (7 marathons and 7 ultras on 7 continents) project. Her plan is to make the small world around her a better place and she seeks to make the most of herself through sport, nutrition, healthy and balanced choices. Adriana will be the first Romanian woman to run the two distances in Antarctica. Throughout this project, she will raise funds for Hospice – Casa Sperantei Foundation, whose mission is to introduce and develop palliative care services in Romania for patients with a terminal illness, raise awareness at a national level through advocacy, promotion and education and build fundraising capacity. Adriana is very excited to go to Antarctica.
