Jian Zhang

Jian Zhang enjoys a wide range of sports, including strength training, mountaineering, cycling, motorcycling, and boxing. His passion for adventure has led him to climb the highest peaks on all seven continents and complete the Last Degree expedition to the South Pole on foot. The North Pole Marathon will be Jian's very first marathon. If all goes according to plan, it will also mark the completion of his 7+2 global adventure challenge—reaching the highest summit on each continent and both the North and South Poles. Next on his journey are the 777 World Marathon Challenge and the Abbott World Marathon Majors. Believing that life is meant to be lived through new challenges, Jian looks forward to discovering the best version of himself with every mile he runs.
