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.

Musante, Fred. "On the Run." The Sunday Post, Bridgeport, April 8, 1979.

The Sri Chinmoy Centers around the country probably have become better known for their 10-mile races than for their meditation classes...

These are not the over-promoted running extravaganzas that collapse under their own weight when it becomes painfully obvious that the promoters  themselves don't run. The Sri Chinmoy 10-milers usually attract a good crowd, and like the race which took place in Fairfield last Sunday, a reasonably fast front pack...

The 10-milers organized by Sri Chinmoy's disciples during the last 2 years are a way they may serve humanity. Sri Chinmoy said his followers are devoted to that aim, and with so many thousands of people running, including many of his disciples, it became a way to promote that goal.
