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.The top six runners have maintained their positions, or changed by small amounts either up or down. The other eight are carrying on, with the hopes that running long every day will kick in and be the next possible athletic miracle. It seems that all fourteen athletes are devoted, in so many ways. We as observers tend to watch for the fastest, the most smooth or the most outstanding runner since the longest race first became a thing in 1997.
If you are ready to find out: To no surprise, the three-time winner of the longest race has put on his fastest shoes since Day 1, Andrea Marcato reached 300 miles today: 108:16:44; plus 20 laps later-500km: 21:34:36.
