Harita en route to finishing the 2017 Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3,100-Mile Race.

Harita Davies of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in New Zealand, was selected as one of the '2017 Inspiring People of the Year' by "Walking 4 Health", which was founded by Guinness World Record holder and 3100 Mile Race finisher Yolanda Holder.

About the author:

Heather Hansman's October 26, 2018 online Outside film review of Sanjay Rawal's documentary film, 3100: Run and Become, examines the 'philosophical side of long-distance running". The film explores the importance of running in the Narajo community, the 'marathon' monks of Japan, Kalahari Bushmen of Africa and the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100-Mile Race. The film centers on Finnish runner Aalto Asphrihanal and the 2016 3100-Mile Race. (Photo: start of the 2106 3100-Mile Race. Asphrihanal Aalto, first from right).

From the article:

"It's hard to show transcendence, especially the kind that comes from the devotional practice of moving your body, but that's what director Sanjay Rawal was trying to capture he filmed runners around the world."
