John Hanc came to Varsity Letters to shed light on a lesser-known March Madness: the Antartica Marathon. Hanc who has run marathons around the world, read from his book "The Coolest Race on Earth: Mud, Madmen, Glaciers, and Grannies at the Antarctica Marathon," and discussed why he, or anyone else, would be compelled to race on the planet's most foreboding continent. Gelf Magazine presents Varsity Letters, a free, sports centric reading series every month at the Happy Ending Lounge in New York. March 5's installment focused on "March Madness" and also featured Eric Angevine and Luke Winn. Angevine is an editor of the college-basketball blog Storming the Floor, and Winn covers the sport for Sports Illustrated.
