Alain D'Andria

Henri has run numerous marathons around the world and by completing the Antarctic Ice Marathon he finished a marathon on all seven continents. Henri says he caught the marathon bug from his very first race nine years ago, and although difficult to combine training with long hours of work, he uses running as a great way to unwind and relax. Included in his marathon CV are New York, London (twice), Rotterdam, Hamilton, Peking, Stockholm, Chicago, Monaco, Maranello Ferrari, La Rochelle, Buenos Aires and one in his native Marseille. He has also completed the Two Oceans ultra in South Africa, a half-marathon in Rio de Janeiro and many other half-marathons in France. Henri finished seventh in the sister race of the Antarctic Ice Marathon - the North Pole Marathon - in April 2006. Hence, he became a member of the Marathon Grand Slam Club by completing one on each of the seven continents and on the Arctic Ocean. In addition to winning the marathon in a new record time of 5:08:17, Henri also finished second in the 100k event.
