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."Sri Chinmoy 70 Mile Run." Ultrarunning January-February 1984; page 38.
" 'He is one of the great American ultra runners, and this is the first time he's won a race. I'm happy to be second.' So commented poet Nathan Whiting, who led the race through 50 miles. Jewell took over the lead at 57 miles, and he had a 12 1/2 minute lead by the race's end. The next two places went to Prospect Park runners Prawda and Rios. Sue Medaglia was the only one of four women starters to finish."
