A special Grand Prix series of 31 races on 31 consecutive days was held during Sri Chinmoy's birthday celebrations in August 1981 to celebrate his 50th birthday. Beginning on July 27th, the races ranged in distance from 100 metres to 5 miles and the cumulative mileage for the Grand Prix came to 50 miles.
Sri Chinmoy competed in every one of the 31 races, recording many personal best times in the West. The shorter sprints were held on the cinder track at Jamaica High School, while longer events were held on roads in the area, such as 150th Street, or at nearby Flushing Meadow Park. All of the races are listed below. This list includes both sprints and longer distance races:
