Day 15 — Sri Chinmoy 3100 Mile Race

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.

A great weekend of sport

It has been a great weekend of sport in New York. At Flushing Meadows, Elena Rybakina and Alexander Zverev were crowned US Open champions. In Manhattan, Scotland's Jemma Reekie broke the event record to win the New York Road Runners 5th Avenue Mile in 4:13.8, while the USA's Marco Langon took the men's race in 3:45.0. And in the Bronx, the Yankees took the Subway Series from the Mets, winning two of the three games at Yankee Stadium.

Meanwhile, at Thomas Edison High School in Queens, the nine intrepid adventurers taking part in the Sri Chinmoy 3,100 Mile Race have entered week three.

Radu Budan of Moldova went through 1,000 miles in 14 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, 1 second. That improves on his 2024 time of 15 days, 1 hour, 47 minutes, 6 seconds by just over 13 hours.

Our research also suggests it is a new Moldovan national record for 1,000 miles. The previous best on record, 14 days, 18 hours, 29 minutes, 25 seconds, was set by Alexander Chulakov in 1993 in the Sri Chinmoy 1,000 Mile Race at nearby Flushing Meadows. Radu took 5 hours and 45 minutes off it.

Radu is too wise to get carried away by these intermediate marks, knowing full well that they are only stepping stones along the way.

Average daily Mileage after Day 15

av-daily-mileage

After 15 days, this shows the runners average daily mileage compared to the magic 59.6 miles needed to finish the distance in 52 days. But, always worth bearing in mind, the trajectory of the race is never like a straight line, with scope for challenges and great comebacks to come.

1,000-mile stories and stats

Late on Saturday afternoon, Andrea Marcato became the first runner in this year's Sri Chinmoy 3,100 Mile Race to reach 1,000 miles.

It was the seventh time he has reached this milestone, and his third fastest. His previous efforts are listed below. He has started this year's race well, sustaining a daily average of over 73 miles across the first thirteen days.

Andrea Marcato — 1,000-mile time comparison

	Date	Time	Av. daily mileage
1	20.10.2024	13 days, 3:02:08	76.2
2	20.10.2023	13 days, 7:12:25	75.2
3	12.09.2026	13 days, 10:41:52	74.4
4	25.10.2022	13 days, 16:41:00	73.0
5	13.09.2025	14 days, 1:29:42	71.1
6	26.09.2021	14 days, 5:09:21	70.3
7	03.11.2020	14 days, 5:20:20	70.3

The fastest 1,000-mile split ever recorded in the Sri Chinmoy 3,100 Mile Race belongs to Madhupran Wolfgang Schwerk, who passed the mark in 12 days, 15 hrs, 56 min, 40 sec in 2006 — the year he set a new 3,100-mile record of 41 days, 8 hrs, 16 min, 29 sec.

Ashprihanal Aalto ran it slightly slower, clocking 12 days, 17 hrs, 19 min, 40 sec on his way to the current 3,100-mile record of 40 days, 9 hrs, 6 min, 21 sec in 2015.

For the women, Taiwanese athlete Tsai Wen-ya set the fastest 1,000-mile split in the 3,100 in 2023, in 14 days, 8 hrs, 8 min, 8 sec.

As for the overall 1,000-mile road record, the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team has led the way in creating opportunities to attempt it. The legendary Greek runner Yiannis Kouros holds the best recorded time for the distance, a phenomenal 10 days, 10 hrs, 30 min, 36 sec, set in the Sri Chinmoy 1,000 Mile Race in Flushing Meadows Park, New York, in 1988 — an event that doubled as that year's IAU World Championship.

Three years later, New Zealand's Sandy Barwick recorded the best-ever women's 1,000-mile time of 12 days, 14 hrs, 38 min, 40 sec. Remarkably, it came as a split during the 1991 Sri Chinmoy 1,300 Mile Race, which she went on to win outright, becoming the first woman to complete the distance.

Most recorded 1,000-mile times on certified courses have come in races organised by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in New York. The 1,000-mile races, along with the 1,300-mile and 2,700-mile events, were the precursors of what is now the 3,100 Mile Race.

Over the next few days, we will welcome others over the 1,000-mile threshold.

About the author:

Committed crew

Some runners are brave enough to attempt the 3,100 Mile Race without a helper, happy to organise themselves and stay self-sufficient. They almost seem glad to add an extra layer of difficulty to the challenge.

The role of the helper, though, can never be underestimated over a distance like this. Having someone on call to prepare drinks and food, and to have things ready and waiting, saves an enormous amount of time.

Radu completed the race in 2024 with a succession of helpers, each coming out for a spell. It worked well for him then, and he has repeated the formula this year with a rotating team.

Adrian, who ran and finished the race in 2025, has been here from the start. He goes home tomorrow, when Tobias from Germany arrives for a week or so. After Tobias, it will fall to friends Gheorghe (Moldova), Yasim (Bulgaria) and Ion (Moldova) to keep Radu on track. All of them understand what a huge challenge the 3,100 is, and all are happy to give up their time to help Radu towards a second finish.

Radu has started well, and it has been a pleasure to watch him and Adrian working so well together. His next helpers have a hard act to follow.

About the author:

The mail man

The 3,100 runners are a hardy group. But when you are alone with your own thoughts, away from friends for weeks at a time, it is good to keep in touch.

The race has its own in-house messaging system, and friends — and even unknown admirers — can send messages through the race website. One of the long-time joint race directors, Sahisnu, receives them all. It falls to him to print them off as they arrive and bring them down to the course for the intended recipients.

For the last few days, Sahisnu has had trouble with his printer, leaving the messages stuck in the queue. Sarankuu came to the rescue, applying his not inconsiderable skills in the tech world to sort the problem out. The backlog was duly printed and brought to the race today, much to the joy of the runners.

Vasu had a huge pile waiting on his table. He always has a steady stream of messages from friends and well-wishers — sometimes with news, sometimes with a poem to inspire him.

Radu also has plenty from friends at home, and from fellow runners. His helper Adrian says that since Radu ran the 3,100 in 2024 he has been "famous" in the running world back home, so a great many runners write to him.

The runners really do appreciate these messages. They are a small but vital link to the outside world, and they can turn a challenging day into a better one, and a good day into a great one.

If you feel inspired to write to any or all of the runners, even if you don't know them, go to the race homepage and look for the "Message the runners" button.

About the author:

Grand Central sunset

bnina One side of the rectangular course around Thomas Edison High School and its playing fields runs alongside the Grand Central Parkway, a busy highway carrying commuters and residents to and from Long Island.

The sun currently sets here just after 7 pm, and our runners are often treated to spectacular colours and cloud formations as it drops behind the suburban Queens skyline.

For the runners, as for all of us, it is a time to reflect. They have been on their feet for over twelve hours by then, with the potential for another six to come. If the day has been warm, they know the cooler, darker evening hours will offer some respite from the direct sunlight.

They will be momentarily distracted by the sunset unfolding in front of them, but as runners on a mission to bring out the best in themselves, they will also be taking stock of how the day has gone. There may even be some mental gymnastics involved, as they work out their mileage so far and calibrate what is still achievable in the hours that remain.

How they feel at that point can dictate whether they stay on their current cruise control or raise the pace, almost imperceptibly, to eke out an extra lap or three in the evening session before going home at a time of their choosing.

A twenty-mile-plus midweek evening run won't feature on many runners' training schedules. But for the seasoned multi-day ultra-runners taking part in the Sri Chinmoy 3,100, it is quite normal — essential, even — as they move slowly forward on their extraordinary journey.

Nina Huang-Lan had a better day, recording 55.4 miles and improving her total to 592.3 miles.

About the author:

A model of consistency

Apart from the opening "enthusiasm day", when fresh legs get the better of wise minds, Annabel Hepworth has been a model of consistency. Her day-one total of 80.1 miles has been followed by days that seem to run like clockwork. As her mileage since day 1 shows, it is as though she has set herself a goal of 100 km a day — comfortably above the daily threshold of around 59 miles needed to beat the cut-off.

a-h Annabel started the Sri Chinmoy 3,100 Mile Race in 2024 but had to withdraw on medical advice, with a bad foot problem, shortly after reaching 2,000 miles.

Already an experienced multi-day runner, she has bounced back over the past two years with victories in the Sri Chinmoy 10-Day Race in Sofia, Bulgaria, covering over 1,000 km in 10 days on both occasions.

She comes to this year's race with unfinished business, and certainly with the experience and capacity to complete it — though, as she found in 2024, anything can happen.

It is still early days, but she moves like a runner on a mission: focused, yet always smiling. Whether she has a daily mileage goal or is simply happy to run for a set number of hours each day, she does not say. But day by day she runs close to 100 km and then goes home. It is as if, after 2024, while still respecting the challenge, she has an inner belief that she has what it takes to finish this extraordinary event — the pinnacle of multi-day running.

DAILY STATS

Andrea Marcato started the day in style, going through 600 miles on his second lap in 8 days, 0 hrs, 15 min, 6 sec. He went on to record 73.5 miles, his best since day 6, leaving him on a total of 672.9 miles.
Radu Budan finished with the second-best daily total, 66.4 miles, for a cumulative total of 617.0 miles.
Annabel Hepworth once again demonstrated her consistency, closing out the day with 63.1 miles. On a cumulative total of 586.2 miles, she looks set to pass 600 tomorrow morning.
Wei Ming Lo ran another 63.1-mile day. With Vasu Duzhiy running 63.6 miles, the pair are locked together on 575.3 miles.
Nayaja Perugini added yet another day in the sixties, 63.6 miles, taking her total to 567.1.
Nina Huang-Lan completed 500 miles early in the morning, in 8 days, 3 hrs, 28 min, 29 sec. She then had a challenging day, recording 47.2 miles and improving her total to 536.9.
Stutisheel Lebedev continues to be on a roll. Another good day, 61.4 miles, takes him to 485.9 miles and edges him further ahead of Ananda-Lahari.
Ananda-Lahari Zuscin repeated yesterday's 45.5 miles, improving his total to 477.7.

About the author:

Looking after your feet

In an extreme multi-day race like the Sri Chinmoy 3,100, you ask so much of your body. So much could go wrong.

Your feet, your main contact with the ground, are destined for a lot of punishment. Someone once tried to estimate the number of foot strikes in 3,100 miles, but with so many variables at play, God alone knows how many times your feet hit the ground.

All our runners, with experience gained over many years of training and racing, have learned how to look after their feet. By taking simple, basic precautions, they can stop major problems developing as the race goes on.

Today I watched Nayaja and her helper Roxanna take five minutes at a "pit stop" to care for her feet. It looked like a well-drilled operation, every task carried out in order and with precision.

Old shoes off.
Socks off.
Feet wiped and dried, to remove even the tiniest grain of dust that could cause a problem.
Insoles removed, shaken and wiped clean.
Feet checked for any hotspots that could develop into a blister.
A blister-prevention dressing on one toe checked, and the gaps between the toes dried.
Fresh socks, turned inside out and shaken, then checked for wrinkles.
The insoles of the new shoes removed and wiped as a final re-check.
A short massage on the foot roller, while some of these other tasks were going on.
Laces adjusted to just the right tension — a good fit, but not too snug.

So much care taken, and not a word spoken. Teamwork in action. Feet ready for some more sidewalk pounding.

DAILY STATS

Another busy day for milestones. With race leader Andrea reaching 500 miles yesterday, five more runners went through the 500-mile doorway today:

Radu — 7 days, 3 hrs, 40 min, 30 sec
Annabel — 7 days, 9 hrs, 29 min, 38 sec
Wei Ming — 7 days, 14 hrs, 14 min, 46 sec
Vasu — 7 days, 15 hrs, 14 min, 41 sec
Nayaja — 7 days, 16 hrs, 7 min, 5 sec
Andrea Marcato, running until very close to midnight, recorded 68.6 miles to take the best daily total of the day. It leaves him just short of 600 miles, on 599.4, and 48.8 miles clear of Radu.
Radu Budan finished his day at 11.20 pm, having run 66.4 miles. On some days he is choosing not to run until the course closes at midnight, taking a little extra rest instead. His was the highest mileage of the day at the time he stopped, and it gives him a cumulative total of 550.6 miles.
Annabel Hepworth, as well as reaching 500 miles, closed the day with 64.2 miles, maintaining her consistency and taking her to 523.2 miles.
Wei Ming Lo stayed on recent form with a 63.1-mile day. It keeps him just ahead of Vasu, holding fourth place on 512.2 miles.
Vasu Duzhiy continued his steady improvement with 66.4 miles, level with Radu for the second-highest total of the day. It gives him a cumulative total of 511.7 miles, one lap behind Wei Ming Lo.
Nayaja Perugini added 63.0 miles to reach 503.4. Slowly, day by day, she is drawing ahead of Nina.
Nina Huang-Lan recorded 55.4 miles for a total of 489.7 miles. She will pass 500 tomorrow, and remains well in contention.
Ananda-Lahari Zuscin totalled 45.5 miles, taking him to 432.1.
Stutisheel Lebedev continued his improving run with 60.4 miles. On 424.5, he is slowly edging closer to Ananda-Lahari.

Andrea first to 500 miles

At around 2 pm this afternoon, Andrea Marcato became the first runner to reach 500 miles, in a time of 6 days, 9 hours, 1 minute and 18 seconds.

He first ran 500 miles in a 10-day race back in 2017. As far as we can make out, this is the 17th time he has reached the distance in a competitive race: seven times in the 3,100 Mile Race, five times in the Sri Chinmoy 10-Day Race in Sofia, Bulgaria, and five times in the Sri Chinmoy 10-Day Race in New York. It is an impressive record.

Some years the 500-mile efforts come just a few days apart. He has been known to run the Sri Chinmoy 10-Day in New York in the last week of April, then line up again in early May for the Sri Chinmoy 10-Day in Sofia. It is all part of preparing his body to run for weeks on end when he takes on the 3,100. He certainly has the capacity to recover quickly from these remarkable distances.

Because the exact 500-mile mark isn't always recorded when a runner carries on to a longer distance, it is hard to know what his best time for the distance really is. One can only wonder how fast he might run it if he prepared specifically for a 500-mile race, rather than treating these as training runs for future adventures.

This table shows average mileage after week 1. To finish within 52 days requires daily average of 59.6. This shows how the top 7 runners are above the minimum daily average and have a positive mileage buffer.

DAILY STATS

A busy day for milestones. Five runners went through 400 miles, and there was a change in the top five.

Andrea Marcato recorded 65.9 miles, his lowest daily total of the race so far, but it still leaves him on 530.9 miles and comfortably clear at the front.
Radu Budan was again within touching distance of the leader's daily figure, adding 66.9 miles for a cumulative total of 484.2 miles. He remains second, 46.7 miles behind.
Annabel Hepworth did exactly as expected and passed 400 miles, closing the day with 63.1 miles and a total of 459.0. Seven days in, every one of her daily totals has fallen between 62.5 and 64.7 miles, apart from her opening 80.1 — remarkable consistency.
Wei Ming Lo had the best day in the field with 67.4 miles, his highest of the race. It moves him past Vasu and into fourth place on 449.1 miles.
Vasu Duzhiy bounced back from yesterday's low with 63.6 miles, for a total of 445.3 miles. He slips to fifth, but only 3.8 miles separates him from Wei Ming Lo.
Nayaja Perugini added 61.5 miles to reach 440.4. Having trailed Nina by a single lap on day 4, she now leads their private contest by just over six miles.
Nina Huang-Lan recorded 59.2 miles for a total of 434.3 miles, and is still well within range of Nayaja.
Ananda-Lahari Zuscin improved again with 52.6 miles, taking him to 386.6 and leaving him poised to pass 400 tomorrow.
Stutisheel Lebedev followed yesterday's season-best with another strong day of 56.4 miles, closing on 364.1 miles.

About the author:

We are on day 4 of this amazing odyssey. A race of such staggering immensity and length throws up numerous statistics — some genuinely significant, as important milestones are reached and records set, and some just interesting ultra-trivia. See more about race in this article by Tarit

At around 7.30 on Wednesday evening, Stutisheel, who lies 9th in the field of nine runners, ran through the 200-mile barrier. A few minutes later, race leader Andrea Marcato breezed through 300 miles. The interesting statistic here is that already, on day 4, there are 100 miles between first and last place. Who knows how the race will unfold, or what gap will eventually separate first from last? Usually it is a matter of several days.

Where they finish doesn't really matter to our runners. More than any other ultra race, this one is about challenging oneself to achieve something remarkably difficult, however long it takes.

Away from the trivia, then, and on to the real daily mileages. In pure statistical terms, at the end of today Andrea is more than 30 miles ahead of Radu Budan, who lies second.

Marcato maintained his healthy lead but fell below the 70-mile mark for the first time. He ended the day with 69.1 miles and an overall total of 314.8 miles, becoming the first runner through the 300-mile barrier. Radu Budan eclipsed Andrea for the highest daily total, closing the day one lap further on with 69.6 miles, giving him a cumulative total of 281.3 miles and consolidating his 2nd place.

Annabel Hepworth finished the day with 62.5 miles and an overall total of 270.5 miles. Annabel again opted for her usual early finish at around 10.30 pm, to give herself a little more overnight recovery time. Vasu Duzhiy finished the day with 59.8 miles, for a total of 267.6 miles.

Lo Wei-Ming looked to be having a challenging day but still managed 58.1 miles, taking him to 256.1 miles.
Nayaja and Nina continued their own close race. Nayaja turned the tables on Nina today, recording 62.5 miles to Nina's 59.2. Nina holds a slender one-lap lead, their respective totals standing at 255.0 and 254.5 miles.
Nayaja's daily total of 62.5 miles was identical to Annabel's and the joint third-best of the day.
Ananda-Lahari Zuscin again ran a measured 60.3 miles, leaving him on 245.7 miles.
Stutisheel Lebedev, with 48.3 miles, closed the day on 208.4 miles in total.

"My mind-distance is very long and uninspiring,
My heart-distance is very short and eventful."

About the author:

Early this morning, at 9 a.m., the race received a special visitor.

Ambassador Alexander Yui Tah-ray Taiwan’s Representative to the United States came to see the race. He also serves as head of the UN affairs task force in New York.

He made the visit to meet Taiwanese ultrarunner Lo Wei-Ming, who enjoys huge support in Taiwan on the strength of his success in multi-day running. Among his many achievements, he is a four-time finisher of the Sri Chinmoy 3,100 Mile Race. At his last 3,100-mile race, in 2024, he set several 60-plus Masters records at both national and world level.

Also present were representatives of the Taiwan Blind Runner for Charity Association, who are in New York for a short stay with several aims. Naturally, they want to support Wei-Ming in his current endeavour. They have brought two blind runners with them from Taiwan, and we are honoured that these runners have covered a few laps of the 3,100-mile course to raise awareness of their own efforts to transcend considerable difficulties. While in New York, they are also connecting with the local Taiwanese community.

Alexander Yui Tah-ray entered into the spirit of the event and wore a 3,100-mile T-shirt. He ran a few laps of the course with Wei-Ming, then put on a blindfold and ran a couple more with the blind runners to show solidarity with their cause.

The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team is grateful that Ambassador Alexander Yui Tah-ray found time in his busy schedule to come and show his support for the race, for Wei-Ming, and for the Taiwan Blind Runner for Charity Association.

As the Day Progressed

Italy's Andrea Marcato passed 70 miles again, recording 75.1 for the day and becoming the first runner to reach 200 miles in the race. He ended on 245.7 miles.
Annabel Hepworth went through 200 miles at around 8:30 pm. She finished with 64.7 miles for the day and a total of 207.8, opting for an early night at about 10:30 pm.
Radu Budan followed her through the 200-mile mark some eight minutes later. Staying on the course until later in the evening, he closed with 66.4 miles and a total of 211.7 to lie in second place.
Vasu Duzhiy reached 200 miles an hour after that, shortly before 10 pm, and finished with 63.7 miles — leaving him level with Hepworth on 207.8 and sharing third.
Lo Wei-Ming clocked 63.1 miles to total 198.

Although it is still early days, you sense that our two other female competitors are evenly matched. Nina Huang-Lan Yang ran 62 miles to total 195.8, while Nayaja Perugini clocked 63.1 to leave her just under four miles behind on 191.9.

Ananda-Lahari Zuscin, after his big effort yesterday, ran a more measured 52.6 miles today, leaving him on 185.4.
Stutisheel Lebedev also covered 52.6 miles, closing the day on 160.1.

About the author:

Temperatures and humidity were kind today, making for good running conditions. Things have settled slightly after the initial burst of energy on day one, and runners have started to settle into the race's routine. Italy's Andrea Marcato continues to set the pace, leading the way with another strong day of 81.2 miles.

Ananda-Lahari Zuscin, after a conservative opening day of 53.2 miles (85.6 kilometres) as he eased into the race, had one of his inspired days, covering more than 79.5 miles — the second-best distance of the day. In the cooler evening air he noticeably increased his pace.
Radu Budan just missed 70 miles for the day, recording 69.2. That moved him slightly ahead of Vasu Duzhiy, who ran a solid 67.4 miles.
Annabel Hepworth continues to set the pace among the women. After her opening 80 miles, she followed up with a more measured 63 to reach 143 miles.
Nina Huang-Lan Yang went one lap further on the day, with 63.6 miles.
Our third woman, Nayaja Perugini, recorded 62.5 miles.
Wei-Ming Lo, the oldest runner in this year's race at 62, had another solid day, easing himself further into the race with 63.6 miles.
Stutisheel Lebedev, drawing on the experience of ten 3,100-mile finishes, totalled 44 miles.

After today's excellent conditions, rain is forecast for tomorrow, bringing a fresh challenge for the runners.

About the author:

The race has begun. The adventure has started. Ten intrepid ultra-running pioneers set off this morning on the world's longest certified road race. Weeks, months and years of preparation have brought them to the start line. Success in the Sri Chinmoy 3,100-Mile Race tends to come from patience and gradual perseverance, but that still doesn't stop some runners from being very enthusiastic on day one.

The race can be completed within the allotted 52 days by averaging around 60 miles (96 km) per day, and the top runners regularly average 70 miles or more. Even so, day one almost always sees one or two competitors record their highest mileage of the entire race. The pent-up emotion of recent days is suddenly released, and after all the planning, they can finally get on with running.

Today, six-time winner Andrea Marcato blitzed 89 miles and looked in control all day. For context, if he sustained that as a daily average, he would finish in 34 to 35 days — more than five days inside the existing record of 40 days, 9 hours, 6 minutes and 21 seconds, set by Finland's Ashprihanal Aalto in 2015.

Not far behind was the leading woman, experienced Australian Annabel Hepworth, who totalled 80.1 miles. (see: Interview with Annabel, Day 1) Again for context, if Annabel were to average around 80 miles a day, she would finish in roughly 39 days — inside Aalto's men's record, and more than six days inside Tsai Wen-Ya's women's mark of 45 days, 12 hours, 28 minutes and 24 seconds from 2023. Behind Hepworth, multiple-time winner Vasu Duzhiy and Moldova's Radu Budan recorded 76.8 and 75.7 miles respectively. History shows that these daily distances will rarely be repeated, if at all, as the race goes on.

Over the next few days, expect every runner to settle into a routine and a mileage they feel comfortable with — whether that means shadowing the 60-mile cut-off line or chasing a national record or a personal best. All of them arrive at the 3,100-Mile Race as experienced multi-day runners, capable of putting a few miles in the bank early on while knowing how their bodies will recover in the days that follow. Like the early miles of a marathon, it is a matter of balancing effort against energy conserved.

They also know that too big an effort on day one or day two will lead to a difficult, subpar day not long afterwards. Outwardly, the 3,100 is an exercise in finding the daily balance between pushing oneself and giving the body the energy, nutrition and rest it needs to recover. Inwardly, it is an exercise in concentration. The adventure has begun.

About the author:

The Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race is held on a single block in Jamaica, Queens. In many ways, it is quite an ordinary block, like many others in New York. But this block takes on a very special significance during the race, especially for the runners of the 3100 Mile Race. During the race, each runner will attempt to complete 5,649 laps of the 0.5488 mile course.

In this video, Stutisheel Lebedev, (a 3100 Mile runner) captures the changing seasons from the start of the race all the way through the calender year.

About the author:

The 29th edition of the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race saw eight out of the ten runners complete the goal of 3,100 miles. This included five first time finishers. Alex Ramsey (USA), Adrian Papuc (Romania), Milan Javornicky (Czech Republic), Daniela Bojila (Italy/Romania) and Lucong Geng (China). This increases the number of runners who have ever finished the race from 52 to 57. Given that the race is in its 29th year, it is still a very elite group.

Andrea Marcato (Italy) was once again the winner of the race in a time of 46 Days + 16:19:10. It is his sixth consecutive first place, an unprecedented achievement. Vasu Duzhiy (a former three-time winner) was 2nd place in a time of 48 Days + 04:57:52. Vasu, from St Petersburg, Russia is 59 years old, but retains a youthful energy. It is the 13th time he has completed the race out of 13 starts.

Mahasatya Janczak (Poland) finished on the podium in a time of 48 Days + 14:37:45. It is the second time he has completed the race, and this year was nearly two days quicker than in 2023. Over the last half of the race, Mahasatya was one of the strongest runners, actually increasing his mileage towards the end.

Alex Ramsey (USA) is only the third American man to complete the race, and his frequent smiles and positivity were inspiring to other runners and helpers. Adrian Papuc (Romania) successfully completed the race at his second attempt in a time of 50 Days + 12:23:23. Adrian had a great attitude to learning from his first effort and also enjoying his time on the course.

Milan Javornicky (Czech Republic) is another runner who learnt from previous experience. In 2020, he completed 2713.9 miles, In 2023, 3031.5 miles and this year finally completed the 3100 miles in a time of 50 Days + 15:53:55. A great example of self-transcendence.

Daniela Bojila (Italy/Romania) was attempting the 3100 Mile Race for her first time. With great determination and consistency, she finished on the last day in a time of 51 Days + 08:17:28. Lucong Geng (China) also finished on the last day, with just a couple of hours to spare. His time was 51 Days + 16:26:57. Lucong started the race very well, but encountered numerous challenges, - cold, injuries and breathing difficulties. But, with great determination, he continued to the end.

Ananda-Lahari Zuscin (Slovakia) finished with 2829.2 Miles. It was his 21st 3100 Mile race, something he has finished six times. Harita Davies (USA) finished with 2790.8 miles. Harita has finished the race on four previous occasions and is the sixth-ranked woman.

Helpers

The race is much more than the ten runners; it requires the selfless effort of a team of dedicated organisers, counters, cooks, medical staff and helpers. The race village creates a unique atmosphere with people from all over the world being brought together in a spirit of self-transcendence and selfless offering.

Founder

The race was founded by Sri Chinmoy, with the first 3100 Mile race run in 1997. It was the culmination of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team's pioneering efforts in the world of multiday running. Sri Chinmoy believed that spirituality and sports could go together with distance running a perfect opportunity to practise self-transcendence.

“There is only one dream
That will always be perfect
In your lifetime,
And that is the dream
Of self-transcendence.”

– Sri Chinmoy
