The runners begin at 6 a.m. and run for extended periods throughout the day, taking breaks as needed. If they want to, they can continue as late as 12 midnight when the course closes for the night. After completing the race, runners have the option of continuing on to complete 5000km. Full details »

22 September Day 23 - 3100 Mile Race

Day 23 saw the nine runners continue on their intrepid journey. Andrea passed 1,600 miles in the morning and continued to extend his lead, now around 99 miles clear of 2nd place. After passing the magical halfway point (1,550 miles) on Sunday, Tarit spoke to Andrea about whether he had any special feelings on reaching halfway.

"I don't think too much about it really. I try not to think about how far away the finish is, as that can overwhelm you. It does give you a nice feeling of being at halfway, but I'm just concentrating now on getting to 1,600 miles; then it will be 1,700, then 1,800. So I try to break it down into little things to be achieved each day.

You know in the back of your head there is still a long way to go, but you also know that in a race of this distance, anything might happen. It can rain a lot, it can get cold now, and all these things can change your race."

It's quite a shocking statistic that even after passing halfway, the runners still have a proverbial mountain to climb, but any 3100 mile runner learns very quickly that they can't be intimidated by statistics and need to keep the focus on the present moment.

2nd place Radu is having another excellent day, passing 1,500 miles early in the morning. Annabel, 1st lady and 3rd overall, has been remarkably consistent in this race and will be hoping to keep the steady momentum going to the end; she managed another 64.1 miles. Wei Ming Lo has also been remarkably consistent. In previous races, Wei Ming Lo has often got stronger as the race progressed, and he has managed to keep up an impressive consistency here too, reaching 62.5 miles yesterday.

Vasu Duzhiy is a veteran of the race, having won on three occasions; yesterday he managed 54.8 miles but still has a good buffer for what would be his 14th finish. Nayaja Perugini continued her strong recent form, running 61.9 miles to move up to 1,373.7 miles. She will be seeking to try and increase that average mileage buffer that at the end of day 22 had reached 0.5 miles, but at the end of yesterday had increased to 2.5 miles!. Yang Huang-Lan moved past 1,200 miles, while two other veterans of the race, Ananda-Lahari Zuscin and Stutisheel Lebedev, completed 43.3 miles and 38.3 miles respectively, with Stutisheel now quietly closing in on the 1,100-mile mark.
