Pete Colaizzo who entered the 24 hour race, gives a write-up on substack

"..The Rockland Lake race consisted of a 12-hour and a 24-hour ultra – fixed time ultras basically means that you go as you please and cover as much distance in the allocated time – as well as a “Midnight Marathon,” which, yes, started at midnight!." keep reading on substack

About the author:

This year's Sri Chinmoy Ten, Six and Three Day Races 2025 began on 19 April. The event promoted by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team is the oldest continuously running six-day and ten-day race in the world. The race takes place on a 0.75-mile loop course in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens, New York City, from April 19-29, 2025. This year also marks the beginning of the inaugural Sri Chinmoy Three-Day (72-Hour) Race which gives runners the opportunity to experience the multi-day adventure on a smaller scale.

The race includes some stellar runners, such as 3100 Mile Record holder Ashprihanal Aalto, Finland. The race started in great weather, though this time of the year is known for its unpredictability, with past editions frequently flooded with rain.

The race was founded by Sri Chinmoy, who frequently visited the Race whilst living in New York. Sri Chinmoy felt that the ‘self-transcendence’ aspect was particularly important in ultrarunning. There comes a point in a race when one's physical prowess has reached its limit. To continue on, the runner must rely on his or her own inner determination, and tap into the infinite spiritual power that is within us all. Over the next 10 days, each runner will get the opportunity to transcend their own limits in the physical, mental and spiritual aspects.
