Hence the name `` Self - Transcendence '', which is appended to all the footraces that the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team hosts. Since 1985 when the group first began holding races, the focus on the ultramarathon and multiday races has grown from the Ultra Trio, three races with staggered starts of 700, 1000 and 1300 - mile duration that take place in September, and the spring races, which include the Self - Transcendence 6 - Day race and the only annual race of its kind, the Self - Transcendence 10 - Day race. In 1996 Sri Chinmoy created this event as a 2,700 - mile ( 4,345 km ) race. At the award ceremony that year he declared that the 1997 edition would be extended to 3,100 miles ( 4,989 km ). The race has been run at this distance every year since.
