Through its races, SCMT promotes not just endurance, but unity, personal growth, and the joy of self-transcendence.
Why the 2025 Tan Team Relays matter
The 2025 Tan Team Relays show that SCMT’s spirit lives on. The mix of solo runs and team relay, short and long distances, made the event inclusive. It welcomed competitive runners and community participants with equal warmth. The race captured the SCMT ethos: pushing physical limits while embracing unity and inner peace.
Whether someone ran 4 km, 12 km, a full marathon, or joined a relay — every finish counts. Events like this renew SCMT’s global tradition, connecting runners in Melbourne with a worldwide community of endurance, friendship, and growth.
We look forward to seeing more runners, new teams, and continuing this journey of growth, strength, and joy in 2026 and beyond.
