Karime Pinera

Twenty years ago, Karime fell in love with long-distance running, but the miles have taken a toll on her knees, leading doctors to advise her not to run one more mile. She always knew this moment would come, but she wasn't ready to hear it. Karime wants to experience the fatigue of following a training plan and the excitement of choosing her outfit for the run, feeling like a gladiator at the starting line. She wants to savor every mile, knowing these might be her last. She longs to feel the surge of emotions that flood your mind and heart when crossing the finish line. The Antarctic Ice Marathon will undoubtedly be her most challenging, as she will walk it, but she believes Antarctica is the perfect place to bid farewell to her greatest passion and have the honor of receiving her second medal of the 7 continents.
