With one day left after today, our weary runners move along. Arpan DeAngelo the lone US entrant, continued to fly around the course in pursuit of 2700 miles. At days end he equaled the most miles done (2700) by an over 60 years runner- John Wallis from Ludington,Mich.- and passed it by one lap. With a whole day left he can still add to his total. Meanwhile Vasu Duzhiy is in position to finish Tuesday evening around 600pm, which will make him the sixth and final finisher this year. He ran 56 miles to cap his day and needs only forty to finish. It has been a tough year but inspiring nonetheless. See you tomorrow.

Ultra veteran Pushkar Christopher Mullauer finished 3100 miles for the third time, setting a new personal best and Swiss record. He ran it in 48 days +08:22:16, which was an average of 64.121 miles per day(103.192 km). He set his new personal best almost 14 hours faster than his previous record.
Atmavir Spacil has only 37.8 miles to go to finish Sunday afternoon.

Sarvagata Ukrainskyi, 39, from Verdansk, Ukraine, made it to the line in second place in a time of 46 days+03:42:17, his second finish and a welcome relief after numerous injuries the last few weeks. He is still ranked fifth all-time in 3100 mile race history. During the race in his peak form Sarvagata ran six consecutive days of 75+ miles or more(120 km+). He surprised many last year by winning the race in his first attempt against a loaded field. This year he started slowly and moved up the field. He was ably assisted by his wife Sarvakamya, his friend Dimma, and his sister Sarvadhara, among many others.
The rest of the field carries on, with Slovakian Pranjal Milovnik set to finish Friday afternoon.

It must be tough for the remaining fellas out on the course. They have given their all but the goal has not been reached.
When the leader of the pack makes it to the end, the rest must renew their resolve. Pushkar Mullauer led the way today
with 65.3 miles. He is eyeing the finish line on Saturday. Sarvagata Ukrainskyi who came in first last year, has had numerous injuries that have slowed him down the last few weeks. He is hoping for a finish line on Thursday morning. Pranjal Milovnik is looking at Friday for the end of his journey.
Vasu Duzhiy is hanging on for dear life and hopes to cross the tape Monday night or Tuesday morning. The rest of the group hang on as warriors and seekers of the illusive spiritual quest. The Goal beckons. Who will reach it? Stay tuned.
