History. The 100 Marathon Club was formed sometime in the late 1980s, early 1990s, by a group of U.K. Runners. At the time, and in the words of Roger Biggs - one of the former and longest served Chairpersons of the 100 Marathon Club and still active with  running, "...We kept bumping into each other at Marathons around the Country and we were telling each other what our totals were 40/50/60 Marathons. Then, one year, someone had 100 Marathons completed and we all said this call for a celebration and we were together; we decided to form a Club exclusively for 100 Marathoners, and what better name than the 100 Marathon Club." Club Membership. The Club has two types of membership: Full and Associate. Full Membership is available to anyone who has ran and completed at least 100 Marathons or Ultra Marathons (ultras), whereas for Associate Membership, a  runner only needs to have ran at least 50 Marathons or Ultras.
