About the author:

Nirbhasa is from Ireland. He is an enthusiastic multi-day runner, having completed four times the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race - the longest race in the world.

The 3100 mile race usually attracts a fair bit of media attention, but this year seems to have sparked some serious worldwide interest, including Ruetir, Kyodo Wire Service (largest in Japan), Agence France Press (with a network of 151 countries), Eurovision (an alliance of public service media in 56 countries with 31 associates) and Asiavision (connecting state TV and radio in 41 countries of the Asia-Pacific region). We'll be adding articles from around the world as we find them, so stay posted!

About the author:

Nirbhasa Magee, who finished the 2020 edition of the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile race was featured in an article in the Meath Chronicle. Nirbhasa is a native of Summerhill, Co Meath in Ireland and currently lives in Iceland. After the race, he spoke to the paper about the challenges and experiences of this unique race. He also explains how practising meditation with Sri Chinmoy opened up many new possibilities, which led him to seek a sense of self-transcendence in both meditation and ultra-distance running. Speaking of the race, Magee said:

"You actually learn a great deal about yourself, participating in this race, which was probably the hardest of the four I've done. It's almost like your a different person coming out of the race than you are going into it, there's a definite process of personal change and transformation that takes place, a process of personal growth. You really have to expand yourself to get past the problems that you face."
