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.
Christopher Maag from the Rockland/Westchester Journal News came out and spent the day with us, resulting in the following insightful article:
"Two minutes before sunrise, the greatest long distance runner in the history of the world arrived. He wobbled on his feet, unsteady. His hands fell against a lamp post, which he used for balance, leaning in to stretch his calves. His eyes were hollow. He looked nearly dead. Then he limped to the start line, where he pressed his palms together in prayer."
