Run with Quinn in Antarctica

After seeing so many kids his age spending buckets of time on x-box, playstations, iPads and watching TV, at age 8 Quinn started wondering how NZ could keep making awesome NZ'ers like Sir Ed Hillary and Sir Peter Blake (2 of his idols) if they weren't getting outside getting active like Kiwi kids should be.

He decided this wasn't a good thing and set about inspiring more Kiwi kids to put the x-Box down and get outside.

He's a keen runner so nagged his Mum until she let him do his first half marathon at Kerikeri at age 8. He finsihed in a time of 2hrs 07, wasting his Mum along the way and becoming the youngest ever runner to run the event. At age 9, Quinn ran the Australian Outback Half Marathon in an unbelievable time of 1hr 57, (wasting his Mum again...) and becoming the youngest runner to ever run that event.

Quinn's 3rd half marathon is the Kauai Half Marathon in Hawaii.

Quinn has now received special acceptance to run the ANTARCTICA HALF MARATHON in March 2017!!! It will be his most challenging event ever with temperatures in the negatives and wild winds.

Quinn wants to take 2,100 names with him to Antarctica on a scroll so they can "run with him" - that's 100 names for every kilometer he'll be running.
