Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race
The 30th Annual Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race runs from 30 August to 20 October in Jamaica, Queens, New York. It is presented as the world's longest certified road race and is held on a single city block that becomes the event course.
Athletes attempt to cover 3100 miles (4989 km) within a 52 day period, which requires an average of about 59.6 miles (95.9 km) per day. The course is a short loop of 0.5488 mile, and completing the race requires 5,649 laps of that circuit. After reaching 3100 miles, participants have the option to continue on to a 5000 km mark.
The event format has runners circulating the same block repeatedly, with the course closing each night. The race maintains detailed records and published results for past years, including daily and final results files. Media coverage, photo galleries, and video channels document the event and its progress across seasons. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
