Siberia’s ‘Pole of Cold Marathon‘ has just entered the Guinness Book Of Records as the world’s coldest ever race.
The marathon, held annually in Russia’s frozen Yakutia republic, took place on Jan 21 this year. A total of sixty-five runners entered, from as far a field as the U.A.E and the U.S..
Organizers were forced to start the race early as temps were set to exceed -60C (-76F) later in the day; but still, a low of -53C (-63.4F) was logged during the run, making it the coldest marathon ever, busting the previous record of -52C (-61.6F) set in 2019.
