Always Advancing Joins the Seven Continents Club

We are thrilled to announce that due to our partnership with Marathon Tours & Travel and their Antarctica Marathon®, Always Advancing now provides medals for events on all seven continents! We created the medals for the 2025 Antarctica Marathon®, which took place in March, and we are currently working on the 2026 medal. We also had the honor of creating the most recent Seven Continents Club® medals for Marathon Tours & Travel, awarded to runners who complete a marathon, half marathon, or ultra marathon on each continent!


"To date, 758 men and 426 women have completed this exclusive quest at the marathon distance. Additionally, 48 men and 91 women have completed a half marathon on all seven continents. Alongside these achievements, 3 people have completed the quest at ultra marathon distance; 2 men and 1 woman. We also have 9 men and 7 women who are SCC Finishers at both the marathon and half marathon level."  - Marathon Tours & Travel

Since our partnership with Marathon Tours & Travel began last year, we have also created their Arctic Marathon and Polar Challenge medals (pictured above). The Arctic Marathon took place in Greenland in September, and the Polar Challenge medal was awarded to runners who completed both the Arctic and Antarctic Marathons (or other qualifying distance)!

We also supply the medals and/or apparel for some of the biggest endurance events around the globe, including:

North America: The Bank of America Chicago Marathon

South America: Maratón de Santiago

Europe: Ironman World Championships in Nice

Australia: The TCS Sydney Marathon

Asia: The Techcombank Ho Chi Minh City International Marathon

Africa: The Ironman South Africa in Nelson Mandela Bay

And many more!

We are very grateful for the opportunity to support runners and events all over the world. Interested in learning more about our services and how we can help elevate your event? Contact us today by calling (215) 295-1133 or clicking here!
