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.

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.

Congratulations to all the runners and walkers who participated in the 6-Hour Race! You smiled and endured through a long, hot effort--and gave inspiration to hundreds of people along the way.

The race took place at the beautiful Miramar Reservoir, where athletes looped around the twisty 5-mile perimeter for the first 4.5 hours. For the final 90 minutes, the course switched to a 2-mile loop. At every step, the athletes were surrounded by nature's beauty: trees, shrubs, glistening water, ducks, bunnies, and more.

The overall winners in both the Men's and Women's divisions put up stunning results:

Debbie Gibson (60) not only won the 60/over category, but also took 1st place overall for the women. Averaging a pace under 9 minutes per mile, she completed 39 miles in 5h 48min.
Jose Herrera (26) handily defended his 2023 overall win by completing 48 miles in 5h 52min (transcending the 46 miles he accomplished last year).

While there were many additional excellent finish times, each and every participant no doubt experienced something more important than speed: the joy or sport and the thrill of self-transcendence!

Mark your calendars for Nov. 16, 2025! We'll see you there.
