About the author:

Tejvan organises short-distance running and cycling races for the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in his home city of Oxford. He is also a very good cyclist, having won the National hill climb championships in 2013 and finished 3rd in the National 100 Mile Time Trials in 2014.

Andrea Marcato continues to extend his lead, hitting the 70 mile+ mark for another consecutive day and being the first runner past 3,000km. Lo Wei Ming, Vasu Duzihy and Susan Marshall are all maintaining their consistency and Stutisheel Lebedev made a promising rebound to pass the half-way mark of the race. Huang Lan Yang also made it past the half way mark has is currently on course to finish the race at her first attempt. It was also great to welcome Stephen Redfern back to the course, who managed 40 miles on his recovering feet.


The previous day Gary Corbitt, the son of legendary ultra runner, Ted Corbitt came to the race to speak with the runners and share his enthusiasm and encouragement with the runners. Over the years, Ted Corbitt was a great friend of Sri Chinmoy and the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team. In a video with Arpan and Gary, Andrea explains his technique of running and fast walking which enable him to both accumulate miles but also relax some of the running muscles. The technique he has used for the past three years is obviously working well for him as he has extended his lead at the top of the race passing 1,800 miles. Kaneenika explains to Gary how Ted Corbitt inspired her during a difficult moment.
