About the author:

In the historical list of long-distance runners and their events, to this day, the six day is the most often found in our sport. The 3100-mile race is multiple “six days” placed together-sometimes as many as eight or nine of them together. Yet, this combined activity has become commonplace to these athletes.

The multiple days together becomes the reality of the 3100, but the ‘shorter ‘ distance is a springboard in the beginning of the event, to the forefront of the new distance, the vastness, which becomes the reality. Remember - a world class individual record of 16 finishes of the 3100 for men, and 13 in a row for women, shows us the distant goals, which becomes the reality to the Seeker Runner of the 3100 Mile Race. The future moves on!

The first of five warm days touched upon the long-distance runners, as the temps passed 90ºF. The energy from Day 1 has continued through the fifth day, and lots of cool drinks and ice were added to the fray.
