Jeremie Gicquel

Part of a husband and wife team running the North Pole Marathon. Thirty-year-old Jérémie has completed numerous half-marathons, marathons and trail runs, including the New York City Marathon, the Paris Marathon and the SaintéLyon (70kms). He also enjoys triathlons, ski mountaineering, cross-country skiing, nordic skiing, long hiking trips and challenging his limits both physically and mentally. As Jérémie has a strong passion for polar regions, the North Pole Marathon sounded like the perfect challenge to him. He will attempt to raise funds for the Association Petits Princes, which fulfills the dreams of critically ill children. By living their passions and by realising their dreams, children find extra energy to fight against their disease. To donate to this charity, please visit http://runners-to-the-pole.com/association-petits-princes/. You can follow Jérémie's (and Stéphanie's) preparation at http://runners-to-the-pole.com, which also includes interviews of extreme adventurers as they will try to learn from their experiences.
