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.

 

To commemorate the 31st anniversary of their spiritual teacher's first marathon run, members of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team held a marathon and a marathon relay. On a saturday morning, March 6, with almost ideal temperatures, 17 runners started the marathon with 16 finishing. Arpan was the overall winner at 3:42. Several relay teams also joined in the marathon run.
