Sounds like quite the challenge. Will he complete it? How fast will he be? He seems to be excited about running again.

He apparently couldn't run even 10 minutes without stopping an now, less than a year later, he wants to run 7 marathons in 7 days? It sounds like his problem may have been in his head.

Hall is definitely going to throw a clot if he tries this bro. That much running followed by multiple long plane flights in conjunction with his known (legal) doping with T!?!?! Bro, that's a leg clot to the lungs just waiting to happen. Don't do it Ryan.....
A parent will do anything to break from the kids.
560 or more folks have run the marathon distance on all seven continents.
Wonder how much $$ he made in his running career. I assume he has no income coming in now, unless his non-profit gets him & Sara allocated salaries. To fly to all those continents, he must be very set- even considering kids' college....???
From what I understood he was doing this as a fundraiser so maybe some of the money is going to travel expenses as well??
I sure hope Brit liar Robert Young is not involved in any of this.Is he?

I think he is probably an Asics Ambassador for life like Deena, Still gets paid to show up to expos for Competitor Group and speaking engagements when they cant hire Gary Busey or a surfer.

Hall is certainly still on the payroll. Someone of Hall's stature can call up Asics and his other sponsors and say "Hey, I'm thinking of doing this adventure race, want to cover my entry fee?" I don't know if this is the one he is doing, but this one is less than 40k.

Sounds like you haven't been reading about him at all.
Also, how do you run a marathon in Antartica? Is there actually a place to run?
Have they done them all in 7 days?
are you actually a runner? they've had a marathon there for ages. get with the program.

You think he would try something like 40 marathons in 40 days and 40 nights
That one was rained out.
I would say that the logistics of doing seven in seven days make this impossible unless he can get and airport built in antartica right where the marathon will be run. Otherwise it is a couple of days by boat to and from the continent.
This is Asics's way of saying "you want to keep the checks coming from us, get your ass visible to the public"
