Greg Yaghmai crossing the finish line of the Antarctica marathon with both arms raised

January 2027 · Seven continents

Nobody has done it
three years in a row.

Seven marathons. Seven continents. Seven days. In January 2027 I go back for a third consecutive World Marathon Challenge — something no runner has ever completed. Every dollar raised here goes to KultureCity.

The attempt

Three years. Twenty-one marathons. One record that does not exist yet.

I ran the World Marathon Challenge in 2025, and again the following year. In January 2027 I line up for a third straight year. Runners have finished the challenge three times before — nobody has finished it three years running.

I finished the second one in February 2026 and I was done. I had peace with it. Then the feeling came back and it would not leave me alone — history sitting right there, staring at me. But the record is only the reason people will look. The mission is the reason I am going: getting the word out about what KultureCity is building.
