On a day, when the runners were inspired by Eliud Kipchoge's new marathon record of two hours, one minute and nine seconds in Berlin, our top two runners (Andrea and Ashprihanal) inched towards the half way point of 1,550 miles. All the runners have completed multiple marathons in the past 22 days, running an average of between two to three marathon distance per day. In this ultimate ultra-marathon distance race the runners keep smiling as they persevere in accumulating laps and miles.
Susan Marshall completed 1,300 miles which is a significant milestone in Sri Chinmoy Races because for many years in the 1980s and 1990s, the longest race the SCMT promoted was a 1,300 mile distance race.
We have a great video by Arpan with two women champions Kaneenika (women's course record) and Suprabha Beckjord who completed the race 13 times.
