Dhananjay Yellurkar

Dhananjay (DJ) is running the Antarctic Ice Marathon in his quest to join The 7 Continents Marathon Club. He is 55 years old and has finished running marathons in Asia, North America, Europe and Africa and this will be his fifth continent. DJ was a pacer (6 hour bus) in the 2014 edition of Mumbai Marathon. He started running long distance post his coronary bypass surgery in 2009 and has completed over 10 marathons. He wants to bust the myth that people who have had a bypass surgery cannot run marathons. DJ lives in Mumbai, India with his wife, two kids and pet dog and works with an Infrastructure Finance Company.
