Engineering alum Alan Nawoj \u201901 completed a grueling event that started in snow and ice and ended\u2014six days later\u2014in sunny Miami<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Melissa Newcomb<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alan Nawoj \u201901 has run marathons all over the world\u2014from the snows of Antarctica to the African coast to the hills of Spain. And as if that\u2019s not impressive (or tiring) enough: he did it all in a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2025, Nawoj completed the World Marathon Challenge<\/a>, in which athletes run a marathon on all seven continents within seven days (168 hours).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt was a phenomenal experience,\u201d says the electrical engineering alum, who finished<\/a> fourth overall, second in the men\u2019s division, and first among U.S. competitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of hard to wrap your mind around. I\u2019m still processing it several months later.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge is an organized event in which a group of around 60 participants flies on a chartered plane from one marathon to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The travel time offers just about their only opportunity to sleep; Nawoj estimates he got about 20 hours during the entire trip.<\/p>\n<\/div>

To prepare, he trained full-time for a year\u2014taking advantage of a break after his tech start-up, a software platform for the automotive industry, was acquired. He regularly ran more than 80 miles per week\u2014sometimes more than 100\u2014and lifted weights, with a focus on injury prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge\u2019s first race is in Antarctica, where runners tackle 26.2 miles through snow and freezing temperatures. The course follows a repeating loop, since runners could otherwise get lost in whiteout conditions\u2014or even fall into a nearby crevasse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI found myself pulling ahead of the other competitors and I thought \u2018There\u2019s no way,\u2019\u201d recalls Nawoj, who consumed 5,000\u20136,000 calories daily to keep his energy up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn the final loop, I took my first quick glance behind me\u2014and there was nobody there. Finishing first in Antarctica was exhilarating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To prepare, Nawoj trained for a full year\u2014running roughly four marathons each week.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The group moved on to a sunny, paved course that meandered along the ocean in Cape Town, South Africa; in Perth, Australia, they ran in the dark with headlamps\u2014and were told to watch out for snakes on the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Dubai race, Nawoj had a one-man cheering section: fellow electrical engineering alum Anish Jain \u201901, who lives in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the weeklong event, Nawoj developed a friendly rivalry with the eventual men\u2019s winner, British-Canadian runner Paul Holborn\u2014a relationship that was later featured<\/a> in the New York Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, Holborn told the paper\u2019s sports platform, the Athletic<\/em>, that Nawoj deserved partial credit for his win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve become good friends with him, even though we wouldn\u2019t talk for the whole three hours [of the race],\u201d Holborn said. \u201cWe were running each other down. All week he made me run quicker than I wanted to, so a lot of this is down to him!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After marathons in Madrid, Spain, and Fortaleza, Brazil, came the final one in Miami\u2014where Nawoj\u2019s wife, children, and other relatives were waiting at the finish line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI remember seeing that I was at mile 25 and thinking \u2018Wow, I just have a little over a mile to go in this entire thing,\u201d says Nawoj, who boasted an average time of 3:25:39 across the seven races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeeing my family at the conclusion was one of my favorite moments of the whole journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nawoj\u2019s interest in running stretches back to fourth grade, when he joined the cross country team, later adding track and field and competing throughout middle and high school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Hill, he ran in intramural competitions, with clubs, and in local races, and particularly enjoyed running through the Botanic Gardens and around Beebe Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m a competitive person, and the thing I\u2019ve always been drawn to about running is that it really comes down to my own performance,\u201d says Nawoj. \u201cIf I don\u2019t do well in a race, I have nobody to blame but myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While 2025 marked the first time Nawoj did the official challenge, he\u2019d actually already run marathons on all seven continents\u2014just through his own travels over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, from 2014\u201318, he held the Guinness world record<\/a> for fastest aggregate marathon time on the seven continents (21:55:02).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Says Nawoj: \u201cI have always been drawn to how I can push my body to its limit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
