It has been a challenging few days, as the runners contend 'historic rain' in the words of Race Director Rupantar. Andrea Marcato still maintains an impressive pace with consecutive 70+ miles day. - Stephen Redfearn has been going well in his first attempt at the race, but had to attend a foot specialist due to severe blisters on his feet. Three runners Andrea, Ashprihanal and Lo Wei Ming have now passed the 1,500 miles.
As of day 23, the top 7 runners are still averaging above the magic 59.6 miles daily average, but as the race edges closer to halfway, the runners know they still have a herculean task to keep going and accumulating as many laps as they can.
