On July 19, 2025, the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team brought together ultrarunners for the 50 km and 100 km races at the scenic Bois de Vincennes in Paris. The race village was relocated this year, and the course was extended by approximately 280 m to include a turnaround, presenting new challenges handled with resilience and determination.
At 8:00 AM, 47 athletes set off for the 100 km, navigating a flat, partially shaded 1.589 m loop amid woodland paths. The 50 km saw a remarkable 69 starters and an impressive 60 finishers. Despite changing weather forecasts—from heat to potential storms – the skies largely held until a light evening rain added intrigue at the finish.
Outstanding performances included fast-paced wins in both distances and inspiring results across several age categories, including veterans and septuagenarians. The strong turnout and personal triumphs made the event truly memorable.
