Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team articles - more articles

This year our race incorporated the UK 24 Hour Championships. 42 Runners set started out on a sunny Saturday afternoon. 24 Hours later, 29 bold, courageous, fearless competitors triumphed having faced down hours and hours of heavy rain through the night; truly a race of two halves weather-wise. For the third time in the history of our race, a woman won the race; Sarah Funderburk of Mornington Chasers displayed utter focus, grit and brilliance to record 131 Miles. Brian Robb stuck his head down and didn't let the constant rain distract him to finish 1st Man, setting a new PB of 123 Miles. Per Audun Heskestad recorded a remarkable 108 Miles to win 1st Vet 60 at the age of 69. Who inspired us and the competitors alike the most? Unquestionably the remarkable Patricia Seabrook who ran 51 Miles putting 'ageing' into the corner at 84 years young. We pay tribute to the amazing courage and achievements of all the competitors.

About the author:

Tejvan organises short-distance running and cycling races for the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in his home city of Oxford. He is also a very good cyclist, having won the National hill climb championships in 2013 and finished 3rd in the National 100 Mile Time Trials in 2014.

For many years, scientists debated whether a sub-four-minute mile was humanly possible. For decades, the goal remained elusive but on the 6th May 1954, Roger Bannister broke the magic milestone with a time of 3:59:4 on Iffley Track, Oxford. It was one of the most iconic sporting records and achievements. Interestingly after Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile, quite a few other runners started to break the invisible barrier. Australian John Landy lowered the mark to 3 mins 58.0sec just six weeks after Bannister. The current record is held by Hicham El Guerrouj in a time of 3:43.13.

Self-Transcendence

Often things can seem impossible to the mind, but when a pioneer breaks a record or achieves something entirely new, it gives us the confidence to follow in their footsteps.

"If we believe in our own
Self-transcendence-task
Then there can be
No unreachable goal."

- Sri Chinmoy

Sri Chinmoy often referred to his philosophy of self-transcendence - the belief and faith that we can try and go beyond self-imposed limits and achieve something new.

70th Anniversary - 6th May 2024

Earlier in the day, there had been public races in Oxford to mark the occasion; including a replica one mile race on the Iffley track. Three runners went under 4 minutes.

Our first two-mile race of the season was on the 6th of May 2024, which happened to be the 70th anniversary of this iconic record.

Sri Chinmoy on the Four-Minute Mile

"One mile in under four minutes was a dream, and Roger Bannister manifested the dream. Now, how many people have run a mile in under four minutes? Someone has run in 3:44. When Roger Bannister ran in just under four minutes, the whole world adored him. Now someone has run two miles in under eight minutes. It is unimaginable! Like that we can do many things."
