Tim Harris holds the record.

UPDATE: Mark does hold the Guinness World Record for ‘Youngest person to complete a marathon on all seven continents (male)’. The last update was incorrect.

UPDATE: Richard Donovan Race Director of the Antarctic Ice Marathon says that Tim Harris holds the youngest (and fastest) 7-7-7. Thanks Richard.

SINGAPORE - Mark sure kept himself quiet! RTE has just broken the story that Mark Scanlon has achieved the Guinness World Record for Youngest 7-7-7.

A 24-year-old Irish man has broken the Guinness World Record for the youngest person to run seven marathons in seven months on seven continents.

Mark Scanlon, who arrived in Dublin Airport today after his record-breaking runs, had no formal training when he took on the 7-7-7 challenge, raising €20,000 for the Irish Cancer Society.

Mr Scanlon said he is looking forward to returning home to Ballina, Co Mayo for a well-earned rest.

Congratulations Mark.
