Vivian Lee

Vivian’s first marathon was only two years ago, and although she had been an avid traveler, she didn’t particularly like running and never considered running on all seven continents. In 2015, however, she caught the running bug and ran her first half marathon in San Diego. To her surprise, running was something that she truly enjoyed. Before long, the half marathon turned into full marathons, and even a staged ultramarathon. She subsequently made her marathon debut at the North Pole in 2016, and as soon as she learned about the Marathon Grand Slam Club, she wasted no time springing into action. After the North Pole, Vivian quickly knocked out three marathons in Australia, Europe, and Asia before challenging herself with the Marathon des Sables, a six-day, 156-mile ultra-stage race in the Sahara Desert. She then ran the Inca Trail Marathon for the South American leg of her Grand Slam where altitudes range from 2,438 to 4,200 meters. The Antarctic Ice Marathon will complete marathons on all 7 continents and at the North Pole. Vivian lives in San Diego, California, and works in the IT industry. She is a Honey Stinger ambassador and runs to support an orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico.
