For the past few years the running community, or, more specifically the microcosm that is the ultra-running community, has been absorbed to the point of obsessive with the last one standing format. Incredible distances and duration, etc., etc.

Well, right now, and for another 40 days to come, the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence Race is underway in New York. This is where it's at. Really at.

Just quietly, though very early in the proceedings, Annabel Hepworth is lying third. Even more quietly, our own Ian Javes came second in the event back in 1987 ... though it was a mere 1,300 miles back then. Pfft.

Betty and Susannah went to Pooh Corner today for a bit of a recce - still deciding if we should run it clockwise or anti-clockwise...???

Turns out that the Clint Eastwood 2027 link on the website had rolled back to this year's event. It's been updated and is now working correctly ... thanks to all of you who dropped us a line with the heads-up 🙂

It's easy ... then it's not. How much 'not' depends on you!

Not by a massive amount, but higher numbers across the board at last week's Clint Eastwood than we've ever had.

Regardless of the outcome at the pointy end, the bigger picture is that without the 5 hour, 10 hour, 15 hour participants, the guys that go longest cannot do it without the rest of the field kicking their goals. Even if the goal is to turn up and just be a part of the show.

And more ...

A 3.9 km lap, just for fun ... sort of. The Drop (Bear) will support elements of our local community as well as the opportunity to put it on the line for those that have the goods, and good spectating for the, erm, smarter people that just want a few laps before sitting back with a coffee to see how to see how it unfolds! - are you ready for Kenny?
