From Oakland to Antarctica: Debbi DiMaggio's Race Around the World

The Moment Everything Changed

When Debbi DiMaggio crossed the finish line at the LA Marathon, she hadn't followed a traditional training plan. What carried her 26.2 miles wasn't mileage logs or split times. It was belief. Unwavering, practiced, intentional belief.

That finish line didn't feel like an ending. It felt like proof.

Proof that the framework she'd spent decades developing, the Mindset In Motion Method™, works not just in boardrooms and open houses, but on pavement, in pain, and at the edge of what feels possible.

Now she's about to test it on the biggest stage imaginable.

The Challenge

On November 15, 2026, Debbi will line up at the bottom of the world in Antarctica and begin something only a handful of people on earth have ever attempted:

7 half marathons. 7 continents. 7 consecutive days.

This is The Great World Race™, launching November 15 through 21, 2026, and it is exactly what it sounds like. Competitors travel by charter plane across the globe, racing through every continent from Antarctica to the finish line, completing a marathon on each one before the week is out.

Participants call it a dividing line in their lives. There's who they were before The Great World Race and who they became after.

For Debbi, crossing that line means something larger than personal achievement.

Why This — Why Now

Debbi DiMaggio has spent 35 years in Bay Area real estate, built a reputation as one of the most trusted names in the East Bay, and authored Mindset In Motion, a guide to living and working with intention, purpose, and unstoppable forward momentum.

But a book isn't enough anymore.

She wants to demonstrate the method. Publicly. Globally. In real time across seven continents in seven days.

The Mindset In Motion Method™ follows five steps:

Goal. Believe. Internalize. Share. Activate.

The Great World Race isn't just her goal. It's the proof of concept for every person who has ever stood at the edge of something big and talked themselves out of taking the first step.

You're Invited to Run With Her

Here's what makes this more than a race:

Debbi isn't just training for this. She's building a movement.

As she prepares, she's inviting you to choose a meaningful goal of your own and pursue it alongside her. Every day of her training becomes a touchpoint for your journey too. Whether your goal is improving your health, writing a book, launching a business, strengthening a relationship, or finally chasing a lifelong dream, you don't have to run a marathon to be part of this. You just have to start moving.

Debbi will be documenting every step, the training, the setbacks, the breakthroughs, and the seven finish lines, so that her journey becomes the spark for yours. Follow her on Instagram @debbidimaggio.
