Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race. The Self-Transcendence 3100 mile race is the world's longest certified footrace. In 1996 Sri Chinmoy created this event as a 2,700-mile (4,345 km) race. At the award ceremony that year he declared that the 1997 edition would be extended to 3,100 miles (4,989 km).
This race takes place in June in Queens, New York. Runners compete for 18 hours a day, running around a city block that measures half a mile. They run until they complete 3,100 miles. The record of 41 days and 8 hours is held by German instrument maker Madhupran Wolfgang Schwerk. He set the mark in 2006.
