About the author:

Rupantar has been the race director of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team since 1985, having been asked by Sri Chinmoy to serve in that capacity. As well as working on the big races the US Marathon Team organise each year - the 3100 Mile Race and the Six and 10 Day Race - he also spends a considerable amount of time archiving the Marathon Team's 40 year history on this website.

What does the 7 time champion of the Self-Transcendence 3,100 Mile Race do when he decides to take a year off from the race: take a one month trek climbing mountains in Peru. Just a warm up for next year when he promises to return to the race. Last year's winner, Sarvagata (now in second place and climbing) poses with the champion.
