John Pares won the 2007 Tooting Bec Self-Transcendence race for the second year in a row with 147 miles, 236 km. In second place was Ken Fancett with 143 miles, 230 km and Stephen Mason was third with 136 miles, 218 km. Fourth place was first lady Sharon Gayter with 131 miles, 210 km. Vicky Skelton took second spot with 125 miles, 201 km and Marie Doke was third lady with 117 miles, 188 km.
Weather conditions were dry, though a little cool in the early hours. A full field created a geat atmosphere and the organisation, as ever, by RD Shankara Smith from the Sri Chinmoy Athletic Team, was exemplary.
Official results will be posted on Sri Chinmoy Races.org in a few days.
