Sri Chinmoy’s two-mile races are closely linked to the weekly Runners Are Smilers races that he introduced for his students in the summer of 1984. He regularly attended these races on Saturday mornings, frequently participating in them and offering a prayer to the runners at the conclusion. The races were held even when he made his annual Christmas Trips abroad and were a highlight of these spiritual holidays. Although Sri Chinmoy recorded his best time in 1981, at the age of 49, he continued to participate, even when his injuries compelled him to walk the course.
These statistics have been compiled over many years by Savita, Vidagdha and SCMT. They are incomplete at the present time. Any additional statistics or photographs would be welcomed. Please use the contact form.

For the next two months, Sri Chinmoy continued to run/walk most of the weekly Runners Are Smilers races in the local area, but he did not want them recorded as races. He merely added the mileage to his weekly total. On 26 April 1986, the Sri Chinmoy 1000-Mile Race began in Flushing Meadow Park and continued until 11 May. Sri Chinmoy completed a total of 65 miles during the race, walking to the race from his home and around the course. |
