There were 457 members of the 7 Marathons Club® as of August 3, 2024, comprising 344 men and 113 women.
The Club is unique, reserved for athletes who have run a marathon within the Antarctic Circle on the Antarctica continent, as well as on the other six continents. See The 7 Marathons Club Rules & Definitions. Membership is not conditional on paying a membership fee and it is the definitive and official list of people who have completed marathons on all 7 continents.
The Antarctic Ice Marathon and the Antarctica Intercontinental Marathon (part of the World Marathon Challenge) are two official marathon events within the Antarctic Circle on mainland Antarctica. The Ice Marathon is also the southernmost marathon on earth. Both races are full member of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) and recognized by Guinness World Records and the Book of Alternative Records for record setting purposes.
New members of the Club will receive a club medal, OR, if completing 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days at the World Marathon Challenge, will receive an Intercontinental Marathon Club medal.
In addition to the 7 continents, if you complete the North Pole Marathon, you'll join The Marathon Grand Slam Club®️ and will receive a Marathon Grand Slam Club medal.
