Since 1985, the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team has been humbly offering the 10-Day and 6-Day Races at Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in New York, inspired by the blessingful encouragement of Sri Chinmoy. These ultra-distance races are more than athletic feats—they are powerful journeys of self-transcendence, where the soul leads and the body joyfully follows.
Run and become.
Become and run.
Run to succeed in the outer world.
Become to proceed in the inner world.”
— Sri Chinmoy
