Agata Mikolajczyk

Agata is a 38-year-old pediatric surgeon. She works in the Children's Memorial Health Institute in Warsaw, Poland. Agata is travelling to Antarctica with her partner, Mirek Cydzik. She started running 8 years ago. The marathon in Antarctica will be Agata’s 24th marathon overall, and – more significantly – one which will let her join the ranks of those who have run marathons on all seven continents. Among her biggest running events are marathons in Rio de Janeiro (2009 and 2010), Marrakech (2010), Roma (2010), Prague (2010), Sydney (2011), Toronto (2012), Reggae Marathon in Jamaica (2012), Honolulu (2012), Loch Ness Marathon (2013), Frankfurt (2013), and Da Nang (2014). Agata and Mirek combine running marathons with travelling and sightseeing. Agata hopes to be the first woman from Poland to complete the Antarctic Ice Marathon, and the first Polish woman to join the Seven Continents Marathon Club.
