Helmut Linzbichler

A top mountaineer and ski instructor who has run hundreds of marathons and ultramarathons. Helmut has run across the United States from one coast to the other (3,100 miles in 64 days), completed every major 100-mile race in the USA, scaled the world's highest peaks, including Everest, and completed a 1300 mile double-crossing of the Austrian Alps from East to West and back (solo in 40 days along the two major mountain trails). The veteran athlete's sporting achievements are phenomenal and he climbed Vinson Massif, Antarctica's highest peak, prior to the Antarctic Ice Marathon to become the oldest person to scale the seven summits.
