About

Abichal at the end of the self-transcendence 3100 mile raceRun Marathons was set up mainly to accomodate material from other websites I run, namely ultrarunning world and multidays.com. I began running marathons in 1992 at the Firenzia Marathon in Italy finishing in 4:10.  Subsequently I ran quite a few of the monthly Rainbow Marathons organised in New York by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team on Randalls Isalnd. Those races no longer take place but the SCMT still holds two marathons a year in New York with 3-400 runners taking part in the Annual Self-Transcendence Marathon in Rockland State Park in August. The SCMT is well known for its multiday races inspired by the race founder Sri Chinmoy, himself  an experienced marathon runner.

Sri Chinmoy was also a big fan of Fred Lebow and the New York Road Runners Club and encouraged his students to take part in the New York City Marathon which I ran 6 times.

I ran in the inaugural 2003 Self-Transcendence Marathon 5:03:14 which I think was my last marathon. That race was 2-3 weeks after running 2747 miles  and I was a bit tired. Since then I have run mostly 24 hour and multiday races.
