Andrei Rosu

Running the Antarctic Ice Marathon as part of his attempt to become a Grand Slam member by running a marathon on 7 continents and at the North Pole. Having completed the North Pole Marathon, Australian Outback Marathon, Istanbul Eurasia Marathon and Pacific Gold Coast Marathon, Andrei's next events (after the Ice Marathon) will be the Sahara Marathon, Everest Marathon and Alaska Mayor’s Marathon. Andrei also likes hiking and plans to climb the highest summits on each continent. His reasons for running the Antarctic Ice Marathon are multi-fold: to raise money for 3 foundations; to reach the Antarctic continent; to become the first Romanian to finish the event; to increase his chances of becoming a Grand Slam Club member; to promote a healthy lifestyle in Romania; to convince more Romanians to attend such competitions in future; to meet nice people; and to have another bedtime story for his son and nephews. He is a 34-year-old project manager working for UniCredit Leasing Corporation.
