Marathon runner, Tuedon Morgan, has set another
record by being the first to hoist the Nigerian flag
on the North Pole, during the just concluded
National Black Marathoner Association marathon.
The winner who shared her experience with
BellaNaija, an online lifestyle blog said, "I became
the first Nigerian to step foot in the North Pole
and I ran a marathon on the north.

"I don't think I have ever done anything so difficult.
The last four kilometres were the hardest. I was
seeing things that weren't there. It was -41C.
"I was cold. It was a hard race but I kept seeing
the Nigerian flag and I knew I had to place it at the
end of the race. I pushed for my country.
"I was in tears when I crossed the finished line.
Another thing that really got me worried running
the North Pole was my leg. "I have a bad leg and it
requires me wearing special running shoes. I had
to use brand new shoes for the race. It had
spikes underneath it. But funny enough my legs
were good. I believe so much that God was with
me," concludes Morgan.
