Marten Hellman

Mårten is a 39-year-young accountant full of Finnish “sisu”, aiming to fin(n)ish a marathon on every continent. He began running marathons in New York 8 years ago, and now only the white continent remains. He has also completed the Intercontinental Istanbul Eurasia marathon from Asia to Europe. Marathons around the world enable him to keep training hard, to meet more great people, to visit interesting places, and to increase his collection of nearly 4,000 different key rings. Mårten prefers big and extraordinary marathons. The high altitude Swiss Alpine marathon and the Big Five Marathon in South Africa have been his most amazing and toughest runs so far. Although ice and snow is very familiar - he also enjoys cross-country skiing - his 22nd marathon will most certainly be the ultimate race for him.
