Ram Gopal Kothari becomes first Indian to complete Volcano Marathon on Easter Island

Summary
Less than a year after becoming the first Indian to complete a full marathon at the Geographic North Pole, Kolkata-based entrepreneur, explorer and endurance runner Ram Gopal Kothari has added another remarkable milestone to Indian sporting history by becoming the first Indian to complete the Volcano Marathon on Easter Island (Rapa Nui), Chile. The 42.195-kilometre Volcano Marathon, held was organised by Runbuk, the international organisation known for staging endurance marathons in some of the world's most remote and extreme locations, including the prestigious North Pole Marathon, according to a release. With this latest accomplishment, Kothari has become the first Indian to complete both of Runbuk's iconic marathons, each presenting a completely different set of physical and mental challenges. To reach Easter Island, one of the world's most isolated inhabited islands in the Pacific Ocean, Kothari travelled nearly 24,000 kilometres from Kolkata via Mumbai, Istanbul and Santiago.
