In multi-day running circles, one of the standard measuring distances or timed event is the six day race. 140 years ago the race was contested on short indoor tracks of wood or compressed wood shavings and tree bark. In the 3100 Mile Race the surface is hard concrete, but the ‘standard is the same. Only this event is nearly nine times the six day. Today Sarvagata Ukrainskyi logged 71.89 miles to reach his 6 day total of 412.14 miles.Vasu Duzhiy reached 64.75 miles to retain second position. Jayasalini Olga Abramovskikh holds seventh position and first woman with 378.67 miles, but the surging Sarah Barnett was within one lap of the Russian first-timer. Sarah’s total of 67.5 miles today was third best overall for the day. Clear blue skies, pleasant breezes and moderate temperatures were the remnants of spring today as our summer solstice reaches the northern hemisphere tonight. Have fun everyone.
