I'm taking on the 2027 World Marathon Challenge: seven full marathons on seven continents in seven consecutive days. Starting on January 30, 2027, in Antarctica, I'll race 183.4 miles in 168 hours—then finish in Miami after a lap around the planet.

I'm Mike Sego, a marathoner, four-time Boston Qualifier, and UESCA-trained endurance coach from the San Francisco Bay Area. Through SeGo The Distance, my free marathon pacing service, I've spent years helping other runners reach finish lines they once thought were out of reach. The 777 is my chance to test that same belief at the edge of what feels possible.

I'm doing it for Team for Kids, New York Road Runners' charity team. Every donation supports free youth running and community programs that help kids build confidence, healthy habits, and a sense of belonging through movement. Every kid deserves a start line.

My goal is $77,777 for Team for Kids. Whether you give $7.77, $77.77, or another amount meaningful to you, every contribution moves us closer. Please donate, share this page, and follow the full journey at https://777.mikesego.com/. Our finish line is active kids and stronger communities.
