Welcome to The Official 7 Continents Marathon, 1/2 Marathon & Ultra Marathon Club; The Official 8 Continents Marathon, 1/2 Marathon & ultra Club; The 8 Continents Marathon Club; and Eight Continents Club!
With the additioan of Zealandia as the 8th Continent, we are the first to recognize the addition of this new continent and have consolidated the recognition clubs so you won't have to worry about where to go to be recognized.
We will continue to recognize finishers of The 7 Continents prior to February 17, 2017. Going forward to be recognized as a finisher, you must complete marathons on all 8 Continents -- including Zealandia.
As the governing organization who groups the 6 marathons run in London, Tokyo, Berlin, New York, Boston & Chicago has done, if you ran one of their races prior to being recognized as part of the majors, it will not count towards completion. That is, if you ran a marathon in New Zealand or New Caledonia prior to February 17, 2017 it will still only count as Oceania (i.e., Australia).
As such, it is a race to see who will be the first male and female to complete marathons on all 8 Continent!!
The mission of our organization is to compile the first all-inclusive "Official" list of ALL 7 continent marathon, 1/2 marathon & ultra Marathon finishers. But it's more than that.
We are a non-profit corporation who only wants to compile a complete list of runners who complete running events from Half-Marathon to Ultra Marathons on all 8 Continents
