Wise words from another fellow Whywolf, Gmork.

I've been looking into long distance running/hiking as a means for spiritual growth and I found out about this.

It's called the self transcendence race. It's the longest foot race in the world.

All of the participants are advanced mediators. 
What these people go through is incredible. This race is arguably harder than what the marathon monks do, they complete more distance, in half the time, during a New York summer.

The participants have 52 days to complete 3100 miles. They have to do MORE than an ultra-marathon each day for 52 consecutive days to complete the race. The fastest time is 41 days.

There is one woman who has completed 13 consecutive races.

Locking this topic because it's turning into a random hodgepodge of stuff. Not a good way to use this forum.

If you have something worthwhile to share, take the effort to start your own topic. If it's not worth starting a topic, then it's probably not worth posting.
