MESA — A Mesa woman is about to run seven marathons on seven continents in seven days, AZFamily reported.
Deb Condo is one of about 60 runners signed up for the Great World Race, which starts Sunday in Antarctica. Each race is 26.2 miles, with a flight between each one, according to AZFamily.
After Antarctica, runners board a private plane to Africa for the second marathon. The plane is effectively their home for the week. “You sleep on the plane. You’re living on a plane,” Condo said.
She packed seven race-day outfits, seven pairs of shoes and snacks for the trip.
Condo said she is running with her late mother in mind. “She passed away two years ago, and she always said that she lived vicariously through me and my brother, so it’s a big deal,” she told AZFamily.
Her advice for others: take small steps today for your future self. She said it is never too late to start working toward a new fitness goal.
