Irishman wins 100km race in freezing -30C Antarctic

Keith Whyte, 33, battled temperatures of -26 degrees and ice-cold winds to cross the finish line in an incredible 9 hours, 26 minutes and two seconds.

Clare ultra marathon runner Keith Whyte wouldn’t be too concerned by Ireland’s current cold snap when he flies into Dublin Airport today.

Whyte is returning from Antarctica where he was crowned 100km Ice Marathon champion in a course record time of 9 hours, 26 minutes and two seconds last week.
