Stefanie Pettersson

No major experience in running; longest walk was 8K last January at a beach in northern Brazil. Her ability to comple the North Pole Marathon will be based more on stamina than on physical conditioning: she will need the support of everyone involved and lots of time to complete the race. Stefanie is currently in high school (9th. grade in the Sigtunaskolan boarding school close to Stockholm). She likes mathematics and team sports such as volleyball and tennis, but also swimming. She hopes to become the youngest person to complete the NPM (16 years and two weeks on race day) as well as the first South American woman. Stefanie is additionally looking forward to being part of the first father-and-daughter combination to complete the NPM.
