Why can't I register online?

We have found the most reliable way to handle registration is actually by phone. Meditation is all about connecting – connecting with your own deepest self, and connecting more deeply with others. We find that the Internet, while often convenient, is somewhat impersonal. We prefer the personal approach.

Sri Chinmoy Ten and Six Day Race 2018

Recently, the 2018 edition of the Sri Chinmoy Ten and Six Day race finished in Flushing Meadows, New York. For this testing multiday event, there were over 80 entrants who braved the cold, wind and rain in an unusually cold edition. The winner of the men's Ten Day Race was Ashprihanal Aalto from Finland, an accomplished multiday runner and World Record holder for 3,100 miles. Despite health issues, he managed a daily average of 82.6 miles. In the women's Ten Day event Ilvaka Nemcova from the Czech Republic completed 621 miles.

The one-mile loop in Flushing Meadow Park

The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team have been organising multiday events in Flushing Meadows, New York since 1985 and the inaugural 1,000 mile race. Over the years this has evolved into the present format of a six and ten-day race. The race was founded by Sri Chinmoy who saw running as an opportunity to enable physical fitness but also spiritual self-transcendence. To put on the race, a team of volunteers work around the clock to set up the race, count runners, cook food and provide medical support.

A multi-day event requires the runner to dig deep and use all aspects of his being to overcome the physical and mental challenges of the event.

“We compete not for the sake of defeating others, but in order to bring forward our own capacity. Our best capacity comes forward only when there are other people around us. They inspire us to bring forward our utmost capacity, and we inspire them to bring forward their utmost capacity”
