His time surpasses the previous mark of 23:22:57, set in 2024 by Paul Johnson and Rob Sembiante. Staged at Ultima Base, the Antarctic Ice Ultra is unlike traditional marathons which are fixed at 26.2 miles (42.2 km), ultramarathons extend far beyond - commonly 31 miles (50 km), 50 miles (80.5 km), 62.1 miles (100 km), and 100 miles (160.9 km) or more. Race winner Yusheng Ni, a prolific distance runner with more than 500 marathons and ultramarathons to his name, ran with steady pacing throughout. The race on Saturday (November 8, 2025) was under deceptively bright skies and temperatures around –15°C (5°F). Despite the sunlight, athletes battled frostbite risk and constant exposure, applying sunscreen as diligently as they layered insulation. When night fell, temperatures plunged to –30°C (–22°F), with wind chill pushing the perceived cold to roughly –35°C (–31°F). Aid stations offered warmth, nutrition, hydration, and recovery space - essential lifelines in an environment where heat loss can become life-threatening in minutes.
