Competitor bio:

Kelly regards running the World Marathon Challenge as a surreal and truly once in a lifetime opportunity. Having just completed, and won, the 2017 Antarctic Ice Marathon, she is looking forward to returning to the beauty of Antarctica on the first stop of this unbelievable journey! Her first ever marathon was her hometown race, the Boston Marathon. She has completed 51 marathons around the world, but this will be a true testament of mental fortitude. She believes there is nothing better than exploring the world by foot and through running she has gained a lifetime of learning and friendships. Kelly believes this next adventure is the ultimate education on so many levels. She works as the International Program Manager for Spartan Race Inc. in Boston and resides in Beverly, MA with her husband John McLay and one-year old baby, Scarlett.
