## Summary

Stephanie Case has become the first woman to finish the 100-mile Antarctic Ice Ultra, placing second overall in a race she described as a test of survival as much as performance. Her achievement challenges the idea that motherhood limits what women can pursue, a message she says she hopes to share with her daughter.

The 43-year-old Canadian completed 38 loops of a 4.2km course in East Antarctica in 17 hours, 31 minutes and 39 seconds, running in winds and temperatures down to -35C. She finished 29 minutes behind China’s Yusheng Ni, who set a new men’s world record; of eight starters in the 100-mile race, only four finished, including Case, the only woman to do so.
