John Kraus

John successfully completed a marathon on all seven continents when he finished the Antarctic Ice Marathon. He was very excited about the opportunity to not only participate in the race, but so see a part of the planet that few others have seen and he capped it off by also finishing the 100k. Having already completed continental marathons at Berlin, Sydney, Kilimanjaro, Rio De Janeiro, and Philadelphia, John ran the Shanghai Marathon on November 25th prior to departing for the Antarctic. The frozen continent saw him run a marathon on all seven continents over a fifteen-month period. Indeed, this past summer he also ran a 100-mile four-day stage race in the Namibian desert. John hopes to continue to take part in other international events in the future, including the North Pole Marathon. A medical director of a rehabilitation hospital in Philadelphia's suburbs, John has been running regularly since college and has remained injury free for over thirty years.
