The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team is currently hosting one of its flagship events in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. At the time of writing, the Ten-Day race is in its third day, whereas the Six-Day race will start on Sunday. A record field of over 80 runners have come from all over the world to participate in these two races. Allaboutrunning.com was talking to the race director, Rupantar LaRusso only last week, and he was worried there might not be enough people to help with setup and counting, but from looking at the race pictures everything appeared to turn out just fine.

A multiday race is a tremendous test of human capacity on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Everyone who has completed a multiday race says that it has changed them for the better in some significant way
