CHRISTOPHER BOUNDY

Chris will join The 7 Continents Marathon Club on completion of the Antarctic Ice Marathon. It not only be his 7th continent, but his 136th lifetime marathon since 2005. Chris has completed all 50 states (some more than once), 22 countries, and six Canadian provinces so far. His average finish time is just over four hours. He did not have an athletic background as a kid and was seriously overweight until his early twenties. With a personal and family history of poor health choices, Chris started running just to lose weight and improve fitness, but this quickly evolved into an "addiction" to marathon running. As his fitness improved and he started doing marathons more frequently, he started traveling more for races and eventually committed to the 50 states goal. After finishing the States in 2015, he focused more on international marathons and the seven continents goal. He likes to travel anyway, so these goals have given him the chance to see parts of the U.S. and the world that he might not have gone to otherwise.
