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.

Since its initial release last year in the US, the documentary film 3100: Run and Become has been gradually rolled out across the globe. The film travels the world to celebrate the importance of running to the human soul, with a particular emphasis on our very own Sri Chinmoy Self-Trancendence 3100-Mile Race. Now the film has reached new Zealand and Australia, with premiere screenings in February and March.

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.

For those of you looking to tackle an ultra race and see a bit of the world at the same time, here's our 2020 calendar of ultradistance races, featuring races from places as far and wide as Kazakhstan, Mongolia and New Zealand. Of course, our perennial favourites are still there, including the Ten and Six Day race and the 3100 Mile Race (both in New York) but maybe this year some people might be up for something new - for example, how about ringing in the New Year in 2021 by running the 24 hour race in Smolensk, Russia which starts on 31 December and ends on 1 January?
