On the weekend of 20–21 September 2025, 52 dedicated runners gathered at Battersea Park’s Millennium Stadium in London for the Self-Transcendence 24-Hour Track Race. Despite challenging, blustery conditions, participants embraced the physical and mental challenge of covering as many laps as possible within 24 hours.
In his debut at this distance, Julien Cazorla (FRA) led the men’s field with an impressive 242.939 km (150.955 miles). Paula Bedford (GBR) topped the women’s division with 188.605 km (117.193 miles). Notably, seven athletes surpassed the 200 km mark, and 31 runners completed over 100 miles, highlighting the event’s competitive spirit and the athletes’ endurance.
The race, organized by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in conjunction with Run and Become, is renowned for its superb organization and has been a fixture in the UK ultrarunning calendar since 1989. It serves as a testament to the principles of self-transcendence, perseverance, and community.
