Rafael Munar Pons

Completed 19 marathons, 44 half-marathons and various road and cross-country events around the world. After successfully running in the Antarctic, Rafael only needs to complete a marathon in Asia to achieve one on all seven continents. His ultimate goal, however, is to complete the Marathon Grand Slam by adding the North Pole Marathon to his expanding list, thereby belonging to the group of runners completing the 7+1. Rafael is also planning to run the Marathon des Sables and the weather conditions at his home in Mallorca will certainly be more suited for such preparation than for training for the Ice Marathon. Rafael’s logistical guide when travelling is his wife Mariska, who also successfully took part in the 2008 Antarctic Ice Marathon.
