Christy Hoke

Christy is running the Antarctic Ice Marathon in her husband Brian's place. He was planning to run in support of the Navy Seal Foundation before he lost his life serving in Afghanistan in late 2016. Christy has never run a marathon and doesn't like the cold, but wants to do whatever she can to support a cause her husband passionately believed in. She's run a number of races in preparation and has full confidence that her teammates, who are also running for the Navy Seal Foundation, will support and encourage her across the finish line. She's very excited to be part of such an extraordinary event and feels privileged to experience something that very few people will ever experience in their lifetimes.
