The Sri Chinmoy Ten and Six Day Races has won praise as a highly-competitive endurance event that tests the body, mind, and spirit of runners to the maximum. Organized by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team, this year's two ultramarathons will be held between April 22nd and May 2nd starting in the famous Flushing Meadows Park in Corona, Queens, New York, with people coming to face the challenge from all across the world. The race is competed with the runners indulging in minimal sleep as they all attempt to complete their marathon in the shortest amount of time possible. For many endurance athletes, this pair of invitation-only runs is the highlight of their year, making the enthusiasm surrounding the event very high.“We look forward to a very successful and rewarding experience for all who test themselves this year,” commented a spokesperson from the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team. “The course is quite scenic and the local support is always encouraging.”
The Ten-Day Race begins on Monday, April 22nd, 2019 at 12 PM and will be its 24th year held. The Six-Day Race begins on Friday, April 26th, 2019 at 12 PM and is on its 22nd year. Both races end on Thursday, May 2nd, 2019. The Sri Chinmoy Ten and Six-Day Races were formerly called the The Self-Transcendence Six and Ten-Day Races.
The weather in New York is quite unpredictable in late April to early May, generally ranging from 52º to 71º but extremes between 33º and 90º are certainly possible, as is wind or rain. Participants and those who would like to watch the marathons are advised to prepare for any possibility.
A medical tent is maintained by volunteers to provide massages and help with any injuries. Medical professionals are often present and the volunteers are generally quite experienced in these areas.
