About the event

Athletes are able to test themselves in a format unlike any other ultra-marathon event. In order to meet their goal of 3100 miles (4989km) in 52 days, they must log an average of 59.6 miles (95.9 km) per day. 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 »

The race has been extensively covered by media around the world, including the BBC, Wall Street Journal and New York Times. Media coverage »

3 October Day 34 - 3100 Mile race

Andrea Marcato was the day's leading runner with 70 miles, pushing him past 2,300 miles. On his current pace he is on course to finish inside 11 more days, somewhere around day 45 — though it is worth emphasising that anything can happen in this race. Radu Budan, running his second race and looking set for another good finish, managed 66.9 miles.

In third place, Lo Wei Ming ran 62.5 miles. He is currently just ahead of the leading woman, Annabel Hepworth, who now has 2,153 miles. Her furthest distance in this race was 2,185 miles, in 2024. She was keeping a good pace that year until her feet suffered serious sores because of unfamiliarity with the concrete surface. This year she has been running a very steady pace, and will hope to transcend her previous best today.

Nayaja Perugini - 2000 miles

Nayaja Perugini passed 2,000 miles for the first time in her career and is progressing nicely in her first attempt at the ultimate race. Vasu Duzhiy, one of the race's veteran runners, ran 57 miles. Nina Yang Huang-Lan logged 53.1 for 1767 miles. Ananda-Lahari Zuscin's ran 42.7 and Stutisheel Lebedev's 39.4 miles.

But, although we can report mileage, it only captures one part of the race. Firstly, there is a hidden team of helpers and volunteers providing food, counting and support for the runners. If you visit the race, you will see it is a constant hive of activity; something is always happening. It is definitely worth vising the race in person.

Also for the runners, the race is much more than records and finishing. The value of such a long race is its opportunity for self-transcendence and learning more about yourself. Sri Chinmoy writes

"Self-transcendence means
Self-expansion
In every way"

— Sri Chinmoy

And that is very true of this race, you are not just testing your physical limits but also the mental and spiritual reserves that are needed in such a tough challenge.
