What is the Seven Continents Club®?
The Seven Continents Club® (SCC) is our global running community that proudly supports runners in pursuing their running goals. As of January 2026, SCC consists of over 14,000 members across 117 countries, connecting runners who share a passion for travel, challenge, and unforgettable race experiences.
As well as connecting runners from around the world, being a member of the club comes with exclusive benefits, including priority access to our most in‑demand events – helping you plan ahead and secure places in some of the world’s most sought‑after running adventures.
SCC is a loyalty club open to runners of all levels. While some members choose to pursue the challenge of running on all seven continents, there is no requirement to do so. Whether you’re starting your first half‑marathon or completing a lifelong goal, SCC membership offers support, inspiration, and exclusive benefits throughout your running journey.
The Story Behind SCC
The Seven Continents Club® (SCC) was established in 1995 when the launch of our inaugural Antarctica Marathon® & Half Marathon made it possible for runners to complete a marathon or half-marathon on all seven continents. Since then, we’ve expanded the experience by adding ultramarathon and 10K distances to our annual Antarctica adventure, allowing for even more runners to achieve this extraordinary global accomplishment.
The idea for SCC was formed on board the ship after the race, as runners reflected on their shared experience. What began as a simple idea has since grown into a global running community, supporting runners through connection, shared goals, and unforgettable experiences around the world.
