Simon Cariss

The North Pole Marathon will be Simon’s fourth marathon. With a career in the HR It Industry for PageUp, he travels a lot and the first thing he always packs is his running gear. Travel is an opportunity for Simon to run in as many places as possible. Originally from Australia, Simon is currently living in Singapore. He enterted the North Pole Marathon as he was looking for an extreme challenge that matched running with adventure that pushes him to the limit (and a bit beyond). “I don't spend a lot of time in the snow but when I do I prefer to run the slopes than Ski” explains Simon. He is raising money for the http://lilyroo.org/ foundation, a non-profit fund giving hope to premature babies by proudly supporting the Royal Women’s Hospital, Melbourne, and raising awareness of premature birth.
