3100 Mile Runner Yolanda covered by Vanity Fair Italy

About the author:

Rupantar has been the race director of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team since 1985, having been asked by Sri Chinmoy to serve in that capacity. As well as working on the big races the US Marathon Team organise each year - the 3100 Mile Race and the Six and 10 Day Race - he also spends a considerable amount of time archiving the Marathon Team's 40 year history on this website.

yolanda.jpgVanity Fair (italian edition) highlights the American racewalker and fashion diva, Yolanda Holder, as she tackles the longest certified road race in the world, the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3,100-Mile Race.

"La signora Holder, conosciuta come Walking Diva, è stata invitata alla più lunga gara del mondo dai discepoli del religioso Sri Chinmoy: «L’importanza di superare i propri limiti»

 

«La corsa mattutina è la bellezza della purezza, la corsa serale è la luminosità della spiritualità». Parola di Sri Chinmoy, un religioso indiano scomparso nel 2007 secondo cui la pratica sportiva anche estrema è una tra le vie praticabili per aspirare alla personale illuminazione. La signora Yolanda Holder, una cinquantanovenne afro-americana madre di due figli, in realtà non è una sua discepola, ma date le sue incredibili capacità fisiche è stata invitata a partecipare alla Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race, la più lunga corsa del mondo, organizzata in onore del maestro spirituale."

The New York Times profiles 3100 Mile runner Yolanda Holder

About the author:

Rupantar has been the race director of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team since 1985, having been asked by Sri Chinmoy to serve in that capacity. As well as working on the big races the US Marathon Team organise each year - the 3100 Mile Race and the Six and 10 Day Race - he also spends a considerable amount of time archiving the Marathon Team's 40 year history on this website.

yolanda.jpgThis year, Yolanda Holder aimed to be the first person to complete the 3100 Mile Race race by walking the entire distance. The New York Times' Corey Kilgannon came to visit the course and wrote a profile beginning as follows...

"On a recent weekday, a woman in hot pink exercise wear and a matching fedore strode briskly but effortlessly down a sidewalk alongside the Grand Central Parkway in Jamaica, Queens. The woman, Yolanda Holdler, 59, an endurance racewalker known as the Walking Diva for her fashionable race outfits, has drawn attention as a first-time entrant to an unusual race held every summer in which runners circle a single block for more than seven weeks straight, 18 hours a day, breaking only between midnight and 6 a.m. to sleep."
