It is that time of year again! On Saturday, 30 August 2025, the world’s longest certified road race (running) will begin and continue for 52-consecutive days until Monday, 20 October 2025. This will be the 29th Annual edition of the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race. This year, ten runners will take up the monumental challenge — 8 men and 2 women. During the event, individuals run an equivalent of 2-marathons each day during those 52 consecutive days. For those who completed the 3,100 mile distance — 7 of the 12 runners did in 2024— this amounts to 118-marathons in under 2 months.

As is our tradition since 2006 — the Enthusiasm-Awakeners plan to sing each day at the 2025 edition of the 3100 Mile Race. We begin singing each and every morning (rain or shine!) at 6:40 a.m. and take Prasad at 7:10 a.m. We very much welcome the international Sri Chinmoy Centre members to join us.

Our singing group —cheer the runners on. “Wherever you go, carry happiness with you.” — Sri Chinmoy

Here are some great videos of interviews with this year’s runners as they take on this monumental challenge. We also had the great journalist, Utpal Marshall —whose blog Perfection Journey — was back again for the pre-race meeting and Day 1 of the Race. His previous decades of daily postings contain such valuable, informative and inspiring insights to the history of this Race that they are absolutely worth revisiting.
