Robert Conway

Robert, 60 years old, has completed marathons on six continents (Los Angeles, Sydney, Paris, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, and Cape Town) over the course of the last five years. He is looking forward to the challenge in Antarctica and hopefully joining The 7 Continents Marathon Club. Running has become a wonderful and fun thing for Bob to do since taking it up only five years ago. The big city races have been a fun way to combine running and sightseeing. The Tokyo Marathon stands out as his favourite because his wife is Japanese and she recruited 17 family members to cheer for him with hats, balloons, and signs. In addition to her family, there were another 1.4 million people cheering "ganbatte" (Keep going, you can do it!) along the entire 42 km. After 35 years as a Certified Public Accountant, he decided earlier this year to slow down a bit, smell the roses, and prepare for the Antarctic Ice Marathon!
