Djalma Moura

Djalma is a 61-year-old mining engineer from Brazil. He believes sports transform, inspire and motivate people and that chronological age should not be something that limits one’s capacity of dreaming. Running has become the habit of his life, bringing the opportunity to meet new people and visit new places around the world together with his wife. Among his seven marathons so far, he has run Berlin, Buenos Aires/Argentina and the Porto Alegre/Brazil marathons where he got the qualifying standard for the Boston Marathon. He would like to use his participation in the Antarctic Ice Marathon to honor all organ donors and their families and make the population aware of the greatness of this act. Djalma will be the first Brazilian over 60 years-old to take part in the southernmost race on earth.
