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.
Mahasatya Janczak was again the day's leading runner with another 65+ mile day. All ten runners maintain their consistent efforts and seek to overcome any challenges in their path. We can take the supreme efforts of the distance runners for granted, but it is remarkable to think these runners have been running for 37 days straight and still have 15 days to go.
Hive of Activity
A question sometimes posed of runners is - Do you ever get bored running around in circles? and the answer will be negative. The race is ever-changing and challenging. The routine may seem repetitive, but actually, there are constantly things to work on, both inwardly and outwardly. The block in Jamaica where the race is run is also a hive of activity. There are sports fields, busy at weekends. Two schools in proximity, local people passing by. Also, the race is often visited by great friends of the race who come to offer support. The organisers and counters are also busy throughout the day and night, topping up water, bringing more food, helping repair runner's shoes and bodies. It is sometimes referred to as 'the village'
