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.
Today Andrea Marcato went past 3000km for the fourth time in his multiday running career. His time was 25:14:00:57- which was only 6 minutes and six seconds slower than his best time set in 2022. If you consider the five days of 92-95 degree heat, and over two days of Tropical rainstorms and strong winds, Andrea indeed is a powerful runner, untouched by nature's tests so far.
Earlier this morning, Tsai Wen-Ya reached the 1700 mile mark, her second place overall was highlighted by the time of 25 days 05:43:59. The previous women’s best time was 27:00:38:06, placed by American record holder Suprabha Beckjord. That was performed in 1998.
Halfway Point
The end of day 26 is the halfway point in the race of 52 days. So far seven runners have passed the half-way mileage. Milan and Jason should hopefully pass this milestone today.
