Sri Chinmoy 50K/50-Mile Race, March 10

By Rupantar LaRusso author bio »
18 February

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.

 

The race gets underway in Flushing Meadows Park.

Cherns, Trishul. "Sri Chinmoy 50-Mile & 50 Km." Ultrarunning, May 1990.

"On this early March day, perfection was the order of the day. The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team was the order of the day. The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team organized a perfect race with all the necessary tools needed to make a long run as easy as possible. Perfect weather (overcast and 50-55 degrees) blessed all the runners. And Marty Sachs ran a perfect sub 6:20 50-mile performance.

Marty and Al Howie ran stride for stride for half the race, but Al fell back, with Marty hitting the marathon in 3:03. Sachs was the first of either race through the 50-km in 3:42 and crept under 6:20 by one second.

Diane McNamara made running 50 miles look easy with a very respectable 7:35 performance for the ladies.

I found it thrilling watching Joe Winch pass Don Jewell late in the race for third placed in the 50-mile. At halfway, Don was 15 minutes ahead of Joe. At 40 miles, the lead was down to seven minutes. At 43 miles, three minutes. At 44 miles, 45 seconds. At 45 miles, 13 seconds. But at 46 miles, Joe had pulled ahead by three minutes, and at the finish five miles later Joe was over 12 minutes up."
