On this auspicious day of July 4 which is called Independence Day for the U.S., the runners are continuing their journey both independently and interdependently. Each runner has their own schedule, their own goals and their own sets of challenges. Yet together they make up a supportive team along with helpers and well-wishers who come there regularly to help them reach their goals. The leader, Ashprihanal, reached the 1600 mile point in record time as a few other runners are closing in on the halfway point. Nine of the eleven runners are still above the average mileage to eventually complete 3100 miles within the time limit.
