About the author:

Tejvan organises short-distance running and cycling races for the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in his home city of Oxford. He is also a very good cyclist, having won the National hill climb championships in 2013 and finished 3rd in the National 100 Mile Time Trials in 2014.

On 4 September, seven intrepid runners stood on the startline for the 25th edition of the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race. First held in 1997, Sri Chinmoy founded the race as the ultimate test of self-transcendence - a race where runners compete not for outer glory, but the challenge of transcending their limits and experience.

In order to meet their goal of 3100 miles (4989km) in 52 days, the runners must log an average of 59.6 miles (95.9 km) per day. The runners begin at 6 a.m. and run for extended periods throughout the day, taking breaks as needed. If they want to, they can continue as late as 12 midnight when the course closes for the night.
