Rob Schimek

Rob enjoys the physical and mental challenge of extreme events. He is a three-time competitor in the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii (‘15, ‘17, and '22); three-time competitor in the World’s Toughest Mudder, a 24-hour endurance event in Nevada (‘14, ‘16, and ‘17); and he has completed the World’s Major Marathons - London, Boston, New York, Chicago, Berlin, and Tokyo - along with Philadelphia, Singapore, and Hong Kong. In addition to these races, Rob has taken on marathons in extreme conditions, including Antarctica in 2023, the Aurora Marathon in 2025, and most recently the North Pole Marathon in July 2025, where ice and isolation tested his endurance at the top of the world. Now, he’s preparing for his boldest adventure yet: the World Marathon Challenge - seven marathons, seven continents, seven days. And while he thrives on testing his own limits, his greatest strength comes from sharing the journey with Maria - his unwavering teammate in life and on the course.
