{{Use dmy dates|date=July 2014}}{{Use Irish English|date=July 2014}}Richard Donovan (born {{Circa}} 1966)[1] is an Irish runner, commercial race organizer, and sports administrator. Donovan was first to complete the inaugural South Pole Marathon[1] in January 2002, then completed the first marathon-length run in the North Pole in April of that year.[2] He used the publicity from this to launch his North Pole Marathon venture, offering runners an adventure tourism experience, with the 2018 event costing €16,000.[3]

Between 30 January and 5 February 2009, Donovan set a world record for running seven marathons, on seven different continents, in fewer than seven days.[4] Starting 1 February 2012 he improved on this by completing the 7 on 7 in under 120 hours.[5]

Donovan has also completed transcontinental runs across North America in 2015 and Europe in 2016,[6] adding South America in 2017. In addition to the North Pole Marathon, he organizes the Antarctic Ice Marathon, the Volcano Marathon and the World Marathon Challenge, where competitors run 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days.[7]
