On an overcast and somewhat cool summer afternoon in New York, 53-year-old Suprabha Beckjord reached the improbable milestone of 13 finishes of the Self-Transcendence 3100 mile race, completing the distance in 60 days+08:58:51.She was the final finisher of this year’s event. Her journeys in the last baker’s dozen of extreme multidays has brought her nearly twice around the world( 40,302.226 miles/ 64,622.160 km) while remaining in the confines of a .5488 mile loop around a city parkland and vocational high school sidewalks. The petite gift-shop owner has remained the only female entrant in the race’s existence and the only person to finish all thirteen. If you stack her best performance in the 3100(49 days,14 hours+)against the men athletes she still ranks 18th among the 26 finishers. She is an amazing superlong distance runner.
We hope you have enjoyed reading or hearing about the 3100 Mile race this year. See you next year!!

Greetings from Seoul, Korea. A brief note to wish all involved with this race a hearty congratulations on another year of incredible accomplishments. I have enjoyed following the runners’ progress, and am awed by their commitment to the ethos of both multiday running and self-transcendence. Thanks also to those responsible for the website, allowing us outsiders to be a small part of this amazing event.
Kind regards, and all the best on future running endeavours.
