As Galya our second place runner breaks the 1300 mile barrier in under 18 days, which happens to be among the top five fastest times at that distance in the world, life goes on with each runner in their own unique and celebrated ways. Some runners are in recovery mode as they walk and run slowly to gain strength, while others are still breaking the 70 miles barrier almost every day. Regardless of how many miles are completed by midnight each day, all of the runners draw lots of energy from the course, the helpers and all the inner and outer support they get from those who come to offer their time and efforts. Being part of this race is not just the running and walking that these handful of runners do each day, but all of the multifarious activities which happen all around them while they create a uniquely inspired event unparalleled in the sports world arena. 

This short video offers a quick look at one of the most important aspects of this race-the Counting Station.
