Tejvan interviewed by one of the runners Stutisheel.

Lo Wei Ming was the day's top runner with 66.4 miles and is now just a day's running away from finishing. Susan Marshall ran another 60+ mile day to bring the finish line closer in view. 2nd place woman Huang Lan Yang ran 58 miles yesterday and after 46 days is averaging 59.8 miles, which still gives her a very small margin in the daily average needed to finish (59.6 miles)

About the author:

Andrea Marcato took over the race today, totalling 76.2 miles/ 122.6 km. Ashprihanal Aalto was a little down in his running today, getting 70.2 miles/ 112.97 km. He still keeps five straight days of over 70 miles in a row. Budjargal Beyambaa had a slow start that almost allowed himself to consider having had enough. But good for him, he started running back to his quick pace for the last 6 or 7 hours to bring himself to holding on to third place and reach 51 miles in a personal redeeming restart. Pushkar and Vasu were at even from yesterday as a tie for fourth place Today Pushkar pulled three miles ahead of Vasu and maintained another solid day, just under 70 miles. We-Ming Lo reached 800 miles today in a time of 11:15:19:31. He is getting to the level he found last year, when his last 16 days were amazing, and carried himself to a 3100-mile finish in 45 days +8 hours.

The third placer is still Budjargal Byambaa, who has fallen back to 805.6 miles/1246.5 km. He is now experiencing a race longer than 10 Days for the first time. There was also a tie in fourth place, as Vasu Duzhiy finished the same total as Pushkar Mullaer - 754/1 miles/1213.5 km.

Annapel Hepworth reached 700 miles for the first time in 10 days+14:19:58. She seems to be enjoying her first 3100 Mile Race. And she likes the letters. So keep those cards and letters coming in.
