Flight Tracking
Antarctica Cargo Charter Tracking (CPT > QAO > CPT) -
Click here for flight status. Runners will fly due south from
Cape Town to
East Antarctica and
land on the blue ice runway at
Novo Air Base in Queen Maud Land on a Russian strategic airlifter modified cargo plane
called the
Ilyushin Il-76TD-90VD
operated by
Volga-Dnepr Airlines. Once the aircraft leaves South African radar, the tracking map will likely not be updated due to lack of radar in Antarctica.

Click here for flight status. The charter flight
number
Omni Air # 2575 for
tail number N441AX is being assigned to the entire journey around the globe from Cape Town to Miami. This is the New England Patriots' private jet.

It mentions our persistent battles over the course of the 7 marathons where we were each trying to break each other down lol... in the end, it brought out the best in both of us!

30 Jan 2025 - 7:59 pm PST (2 months ago) - At the Cape Town airport and going through Antarctica check-in procedures as we speak… almost 6am here and we are scheduled to touch down at Novo Ice Runway at 11:45am UTC… marathon tentatively scheduled to start at 1:30pm UTC. It’s a 6 hour flight straight south after we take off from Cape Town… going to be really loud inside the cargo plane so we’re getting earplugs ;).
30 Jan 2025 - 7:55 pm PST (2 months ago) - Thank you so much to KUSI Channel 5 News San Diego for connecting with me and for airing this story!
https://fox5sandiego.com/sports/running-with-a-purpose-alan-nawoj-to-race-on-7-continents-in-7-days/28 Jan 2025 - 4:12 am PST (2 months ago) - Made it to Cape Town, South Africa! 🇿🇦 All 777 competitors are assembling here in Cape Town from all over the world for a few days of safety briefings, crew intros, gear inspections, logistics and course walkthroughs, etc. before we kick things off on Friday. It’s summertime down here and quite hot… 87 degrees at the moment. If it stays this way till the weekend, marathon # 2 (Africa) is going to be tough!
26 Jan 2025 - 3:38 pm PST (2 months ago) - It’s departure day! The journey begins… from now until I get back home, I’ll be in the air for over 91 hours on planes and will cross over 16 time zones. Next time I touch US soil will be in Miami for marathon number 7!
23 Jan 2025 - 7:12 pm PST (2 months ago) - 8 days to go!
