Sarvagata Mikhailo Ukrainskyi, 37, from Berdyansk,Ukraine, won the Fifteenth Annual Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race in a national record time of 44 days+13:38:52. Sarvagata completed  5649 laps of the 0.5488 mile course in Queens, New York, NY while averaging 69.559 miles per day(111.945 km). The first time runner set new records for a novice with highest placing and fastest time. The ten runners in the race experienced the hottest heat wave in years just last week, with the THI reaching 112-114¼F with no wind to speak of. Yet Mr. Ukrainskyi powered on to finish nearly thirty miles ahead of finisher number two,  Igor Mudryck, who will reach the finish line Wednesday morning before 9:00 am. Sarvagata is now ranked fifth all-time in  3100 mile annals with his splendid performance. The race will end on Thursday, August 4. Congratulations Sarvagata!

On the final day of running, Dharbhasana Lynn, a first-timer from Auckland, New Zealand, became the first Kiwi to join the ranks of finishers in the world’s longest certified race with a stunning finish in 51 days+13:17:32. He averaged 60.13 miles (96.77 km) per day as he was the sixth and last finisher of this fourteenth edition.

Among the other runners who came up short, Ananda-Lahari Zuscin ran 2857.05 miles; Baladev Pavol Saraz reached 2799.97 miles; Surasa Mairer reached 2760.46 miles and Purna-Samarpan Querhammer stopped at 2700.09 miles. The super hot summer in New York was a main factor in the slower times and diminished returns but the runners deserve our gratitude for staying the course and showing supreme courage and conviction throughout. We hope to be back next year. Thanks for your interest.

On a moderately warm summer afternoon, Pushkar C. Mullauer from Switzerland reached his goal of 3100 miles for the second time in as many years with a fine effort of 50 days+09:34:24. He averaged 61.51 miles per day (98.99 km). Dharbhasana Lynn ran 60.9168 miles to get into position to finish his first 3100 mile race on Tuesday early evening.

With hazy, sunny skies above, Atmavir Petr Spacil became a four-time finisher of the 3100 mile race in 49 days+05:31:34. He averaged 62.97 miles per day (101.345 km). Mr Spacil is ranked fifth all-time at this distance, but found out his physical aversion to very hot weather. He had big problems running during the heat of the day, so that his mileage suffered greatly and his body was continuously revolting from the heat onslaught. Yet he found the fortitude to stay the course and finish the race.

Pushkar Mullauer ran a fine 64.2 mile day to be in position to finish 3100 miles on Monday afternoon. Dharbhasana Lynn ran 65.85 miles to gain precious ground towards finishing on Tuesday evening.

With a strong 64.7 mile day, Atmavir P. Spacil is only 23.5 miles away from his fourth 3100 mile finish. Pushkar C. Mullauer ran 62.56 miles to be in position to finish Monday afternoon. But the day leader award goes to Dharbhasana Lynn. The effervescent Kiwi ran 70.24 miles to continue his remarkable comeback towards a Tuesday evening finish. Stay tuned as the world’s longest race winds down.

Pranjal Milovnik did the nearly impossible – he finished a day faster than his previous best for 3100 miles – during the hottest July in 100 years here in New York – and finished third in 47 days+04:19:49. He moves from 14th place on the all-time rankings to 10th with his brilliant run. He averaged 65.68 miles/105.70 km for the duration.

Dharbhasana Lynn garnered day honors again with a sparkling 65.85 mile run to edge closer to being on a realistic pace to finish. Atmavir Spacil ran 63.66 miles and is on pace to be the next finisher at around noon on Sunday. Pushkar Mullauer is eyeing a Monday afternoon finish as well.

The best individual performance of the day belonged to no one more deserving than Dharbhasana Lynn, who is re-writing himself with a 70+ mile day. He led the first and second-place holders to the line. In all, five finishers slipped past 60 miles.

Atmavir Spacil – 2700 miles = 44 days + 00:30:31

With the last remnants of the third heat-wave all but gone, the runners started to feel a little better about their performances. Galya Balatskyy and Asprihanal Aalto tied for the day lead with 65.85 miles, with Pranjal Milovnik, Mr Consistent, was close behind with 64.74 miles. Dharbhasana Lynn made a move to try to right his ship by garnering 62.56 miles. He has been plagued with hamstring issues for nearly a week but came out of it with flying colors. Will he have enough time to make it to the Big Goal?

Stay tuned!!
