A beautiful morning greeted the runners, as Andrea Marcato was the first to pass the 1,000 mile mark. Vasu Duzhiy, a three-time winner, is this year currently in 2nd place with just one lap needed for the 1,000 mile mark. Over the next two days, most of the other runners are set to mass the mark too.
Early this morning barely two hours into the race, Andrea Marcato became the first runner in this years Sri Chinmoy 3,100 mile race to reach 1,000 miles. It was the 6th time he had reached this little milestone in his life but only his 4th fastest.His previous efforts are listed below. Although starting the race very well, and still looking good, he does not seem to have had his usual fluidity.

This was set in the Sri Chinmoy 1,000 mile race in Flushing Meadow Park in New York in May 1998.
