Episode 24: Running marathons on every continent with Jeff Adams

From Marrakesh, Antarctica, the ancient Mayan city of Palenque in Mexico, to Paris, Boston, London, you name it, you can run a marathon on all seven continents, and this week’s guest can make it happen.  For this episode Emma is joined by Jeff Adams, President of Marathon Tours & Travel and multi-marathon runner. Sharing his views on the boom of the adventure tourism industry, Jeff talks all things running, adventure travel and the latest trends. Jeff himself has tallied up over 44 marathons (with plenty more lined up for this year) and he talks about combining his passion for marathon running with enabling other people to experience epic marathons around the world. We also discuss the environmental cost of these tours, and the industry in general, as well as the innovation going on behind the scenes. It’s an eye-opening perspective into an industry which is exploding and an incredible example of combining your passion with your career. Jeff is very inspiring and you might well find yourself lacing up your trainers and heading out for an adventure.
