Radu Budan reached his dream of finishing the 3100 Mile Race today, making it to the finish line in 47:05:58:18. He was amazed to be observed by the Moldovan Ambassador Gheorghe Leuca and his wife Alla Leuca as he passed the finish line. Radu was the first Moldovan runner to ever finish the 3100 Mile Race, while he averaged 65.613 miles per day/ 105.509 km. His performance resulted in him being the 19th fastest of all time in the 28th Year of the 3100 Mile Race. After the celebration, Radu ran the 13 laps to reach the 5000km mark- 47:08:39:37.
Some four hours later. The great Vasu Duzhiy from St Petersburg reached his 12th finish of the 3100 Mile Race in a time of 47:10:51:33. Vasu was extremely grateful to all the helpers and friends who donated their time and helpfulness in this test of the longest race. He continued the 13 laps-journey to the 5000km mark- 47:13:39:45. At age 58 he has been one of the finest runners over the years of the longest race in the world.
Thursday Budjargal Byambaa from Mongolia will most likely finish the 3100 Mile Race in the late afternoon. Today he reached 4,900 Km in 47:15:00:09. He has shown great inner and outer strength to overcome the difficulties in such a difficult event - in his first try.
