About the author:
Tejvan organises short-distance running and cycling races for the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in his home city of Oxford. He is also a very good cyclist, having won the National hill climb championships in 2013 and finished 3rd in the National 100 Mile Time Trials in 2014.
Vasu Duzhiy, 57, from St. Petersburg, Russia, finished the 27th Sri Chinmoy 3100 Mile Race. It was his eleventh completion of the longest footrace - in 49 days+15:36:01. He averaged 62.440 miles per day - 100.488 km. He is the sixth fastest runner of the 3100, as well as a three-time winner of the race. Vasu is a remarkably consistent presence at the 3100 Mile Race. Consistent in entering, finishing and a steady, focused and determined presence on the course.
Mahasatya Janczak, 48, from Lublin, Poland, passed the 3000-mile mark early this morning in 49 days+00:28:31. He will most likely finish his first 3100 Mile Race on Thursday afternoon. In the last 19 days of the race, Mahasatya has maintained over 62 miles a day to reach his goal in his first attempt. Milan Javornicky passed 2,900 miles in 49 days+13:20:23. It is the farthest he has travelled on his legs, and he has given his best efforts. He might be a bit short of the goal, but his attempt is worthy of our adulation no doubt.
Harita Davies continues to run with tremendous consistency. After 50 days, she has reached 2,984 miles - a daily average of 59.68. This leaves 115.6 miles over the next two days - an average of 57.8 miles.

With 11 finishers now achieved, including three victories, Vasu has one of the best track records at the 3,100-mile race. Only Ashprihanal Aalto, with 16 races for the men, and Suprabha Beckford, with 13 for the women, have finished more races. Vasu though, has now run 11 consecutive races in New York. (He did not run in 2020 in Salzburg, with travel still restricted, at the time of the Pandemic). Pranjal Milovnik is the only other athlete to have run ten consecutive races. Vasu’s fastest time was in 2015. Below is a full list of all his eleven finishes.
