Most are probably unaware that Grahak Cunningham from Perth is the sole Australian in this year's 3,100 mile race in New York. Organised by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team and run on an 880 metre street circuit over a period of more than 50 days, the event is the world's longest footrace.
In his first attempt at a multi day race, Grahak is going great guns with over 1,900 miles at the 32nd day. Grahak's progress [and all other competitors!] can be followed at http://www.srichinmoyraces.org/3100/

Grahak Cunnigham has finished in sixth place. Crossing the line early on the 51st day, Grahak performed with aplomb in a world class field.

I hope so.
In a surprisingly consistent way, 30-year-old Grahak Cunningham from Perth, Australia finished sixth in the Self-Transcendence 3100 miler this morning in 50 days+03:02:26, a new Australian record by four days, 12 hours. The determined Grahak was a novice to super long distance events, but after two weeks showed tremendous poise and confidence. He never dipped below 60 miles after Day 16 and finished strongly while getting maximum rest at night. His potential is boundless if he wishes to renew the block-bound journey of 5649 laps.
Congratulations Grahak!
