About the author:

Nirbhasa is originally from Ireland but currently lives in Reykjavik, Iceland. He is an enthusiastic multi-day runner, having completed four times the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race - the longest race in the world.

The 3100 mile race usually attracts a fair bit of media attention, but this year seems to have sparked some serious worldwide interest, including Ruetir, Kyodo Wire Service (largest in Japan), Agence France Press (with a network of 151 countries), Eurovision (an alliance of public service media in 56 countries with 31 associates) and Asiavision (connecting state TV and radio in 41 countries of the Asia-Pacific region). We'll be adding articles from around the world as we find them, so stay posted!
