Gary Craig

A 53-year-old computer programmer living in Los Angeles, California. Gary runs 3 or 4 marathons each year, but the North Pole Marathon is his first marathon outside of the USA. He has run the last few Boston Marathons and plans to run Boston again this year, a mere 6 days after the North Pole Marathon. In taking part at the Pole, Gary is looking for an adventure to one of the most remote places on the planet, and would also like to move outside of his 'comfort zone', where he believes he has been hovering too long. It will also be interesting for him to meet other runners hailing from diverse backgrounds. Gary has climbed the 6,189-meter mountain "Island Peak" in Nepal and Pico de Orizaba, the 5,636-meter high point of Mexico.
