Gunnar FAEHN

Norway

Seventy-five year old Gunnar Faehn of Norway is a RacingThePlanet powerhouse and a model for what is possible. As if a career as a medical doctor wasn't tough enough, Gunnar took on the challenge of RacingThePlanet and just kept going. A husband, father of four daughters and grandfather to one granddaughter, Gunnar knew as soon as he set out on the Atacama Crossing in 2004 that he would eventually cross the finish line of The Last Desert. Gunnar met that goal and more as he joined the 4 Deserts Club after The Last Desert in 2010, and has gone on to complete nine RacingThePlanet races so far and volunteered at three. He'll be returning to Antarctica in 2024 to compete in The Last Desert for a second time, bringing Gunnar's overall total to thirteen events! Once The Last Desert 2024 is done and dusted, we'll be very interested to see what Gunnar does next and hope that he continues to enjoy his long and memorable time as an ultrarunner.

Bob Huffman, from Washington in the United States, is a retired nuclear physicist and physics teacher (US college and high school). With the freedom of retirement, he now takes on challenges that he could never fit into his academic schedule or was even aware of. He sees them as opportunities to test himself physically and mentally. Antarctica is a place that Bob has always wanted to visit, especially so after hearing about a colleague's visit decades ago. The Last Desert is the perfect way to provide a unique perspective of the continent - not just the normal tourist experience. Bob has competed in a number of RacingThePlanet / 4 Deserts Ultramarathons including the Atacama Crossing 2022 and Gobi March (Mongolia) 2023.
