Matt Gabriel

Matt has run the Auckland Marathon, completed the 60km off road Kepler challenge three times, and finished a large number of half marathons on and off road throughout New Zealand. The 33-year- old engineer from Auckland is travelling to the North Pole Marathon in a group of four Kiwis. He has previously travelled through Australia, Europe and the USA and enjoys running socially wherever he travels. However, this will be Matt's first major event overseas. He is extremely excited about the trip and looking forward to the experience of running on sea ice and meeting the other competitors.
