With one day left after today, our weary runners move along. Arpan DeAngelo the lone US entrant, continued to fly around the course in pursuit of 2700 miles. At days end he equaled the most miles done (2700) by an over 60 years runner- John Wallis from Ludington,Mich.- and passed it by one lap. With a whole day left he can still add to his total. Meanwhile Vasu Duzhiy is in position to finish Tuesday evening around 600pm, which will make him the sixth and final finisher this year. He ran 56 miles to cap his day and needs only forty to finish.

“Self Transcendence is actually a quality that you can experience.

It is not just a concept or a philosophy.

It is a quality of the divine.

Something inwardly that is expanding and growing and you can experience it, and once you experience that then this self transcendent nature starts more spontaneously acting in and through you and you feel more and more that you are just following it.”…..Pradeep

“I really believe there are some hidden secrets here, which we just have to reveal.  Each year I try to go more deep.  This is the place where we can really reach our highest.”….Atmavir
