Pal Skyrud

Pål starting running and competing in exercise adventure races about 10 years ago and hasn’t looked back. In those 10 years, he has run twenty-two marathons, three triathlons and two ultras. He has run on five continents so far, and Antarctica will be his sixth. “I enjoy the combination of seeing world places and completing a marathon,” he said. His 2017 goal was to complete eight marathons (Tokyo, North Pole, Prague, Big Five in South Africa, Inca Trail in Peru, Trollheimen in Norway, Venize in Italy and Antarctica). In the summer of 2018, he aims to complete the Australian Outback Marathon so that he can become a member of The 7 Continents Marathon Club, the Grand Slam Club and a full member of Marathon Globetrotters. He placed first at the Inca Trail race in Peru in August, fifth at Big Five in June and sixth at the North Pole Marathon in April.
