Daigle shed tears after her victory

Little-known American Angela Daigle equalled the fastest time in the world this year over 60m at the US indoor championships in Boston on Sunday.

The 28-year-old clocked 7.09 seconds, the same time Jamaican Veronica Campbell set earlier in February.

Daigle received $25,000 for taking the overall title on the US indoor circuit and $2,500 for Sunday's win.

"This is the most I've ever made at a single event," said Daigle, who doubled her victories at professional level.

Most US Olympians skipped the event because there are no world indoor championships this year.

This video gives a flavour of the event and some perspectives from the participants.

Pete Colaizzo who entered the 24 hour race, gives a write-up on substack

"..The Rockland Lake race consisted of a 12-hour and a 24-hour ultra – fixed time ultras basically means that you go as you please and cover as much distance in the allocated time – as well as a “Midnight Marathon,” which, yes, started at midnight!." keep reading on substack

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.
