Upcoming event: end of June 2015, 260-mile run on the entire Arctic Circle Trail in Greenland (out and back). It seems that nobody has ever run the entire Arctic Circle Trail. It is a hiking trail that is mostly trekked in August/September when the weather is warmer, there are less mosquitoes, and the water in the rivers is very low. We will try to run this entire Arctic Circle trail during the end of June when there is 24-hour daylight. There will be no support during this run and we will have to carry all our food, fuel for cooking, and sleeping bags. There will be a plenty of water. At the beginning of summer, the ground will be more wet and the rivers will be full of icy water, plus the mosquitoes are at their peak!!! My friends Denise and Jon (from the UK) and I (NY) are preparing for these challenges. Here is a picture from my 1st stream crossing in Rockefeller Park. This was an easy one. I will gradually increase the depth of the streams; however, I will certainly not attempt to cross the Hudson River! This will be a fundraising run to benefit Doctors Without Borders.
