Day 20, September 18, 2023

About the author:

Tejvan organises short-distance running and cycling races for the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in his home city of Oxford. He is also a very good cyclist, having won the National hill climb championships in 2013 and finished 3rd in the National 100 Mile Time Trials in 2014.

Heavy rain failed to dampen spirits as our dauntless runners continued their epic quest around the famous 'block' Andrea Marcato led the day, with 67.4 miles - a rare mileage total of less than 70. Andrea averages 72 miles after the first 20 days Shortly behind was the leading woman and 2nd placed overall Wen-Ya Tsai with 64 miles.

In a testament to the difficulty of the race six out of the 14 runners are running at or above the 59.6 miles or more day - this is the daily average needed to finish. However, Harita, Milan and Jason are all within touching distance should inspiration and favourable conditions descend.

About the author:

Andrea Marcato worked hard to overcome a few rain storms that pummeled the area, both in the late morning, and then last night, as storms continued to test the runners of the 3100 Mile Race.

Mr Marcato reached 898.29 miles, having remained nearly 68 miles ahead of Tsai Wen-Ya, who reached 830.29 miles, and easily leads the total of five women who are maintaining their running tests on the daily basis of searching for more than 59.618 miles per day, needed to acquire the 3100 Mile Race to finish in the 52 day framework. Taiwan male hero distance runner Wei-Ming Lo totalled 769.96 miles in a dozen days to hold his effort to third overall.

10-time finisher Vasu Duzhiy, a three-time winner of the longest race, has helped his position to stay at fourth overall, with a good effort of 742.54 miles. He needed to maintain the position because of the steady serge from Nina Huang-Lan Yang, the lady who has put pressure on other runners as she is the third Taiwanese to attempt the longest race.
