Alan Holmes

Alan will be running the Antarctic Ice Marathon to benefit the U.S. Navy SEAL Foundation, and in memory of good friends and comrades. During his career in the US Military and the Special Operations community, Alan began competing in expeditionary and ultra endurance events both for personal fulfillment and to benefit the charitable organizations that supported the family members of fallen service members. Alan has competed in large international events like the Raid Gauloises, the Eco-Challenge, and The Southern Traverse, and also raced and organized smaller events such at the MegaDose and Beast of the East adventure races and the Brave Heart/Allen Stone memorial run/swim/run. He has competed in dozens of marathons, triathlons and endurance events around the world, including the Bataan Memorial event in the Philippines. However, he finds greatest enjoyment in doing long trail runs with his sister Marissa. The Antarctic Ice Marathon is particularly important to him because of the people with whom he will be traveling and running, and the cause that they are going to Antarctica to support.
