The Self-Transcendence races in New York are set up to enable the runners to get the best out of themselves at a given moment in time. The mileages are of course a reflection of what happened during the event but for the runners, each mile has been accrued step by step and with considerable effort inwardly and outwardly. A race is an arena where runners do battle partly with their fellow competitors but mostly with themselves. Flushing Meadow Park becomes a very special place where members of different communities gather to take part in an exercise in realising their capacity to maintain “relentless forward motion”. The atmosphere generated at the event is unique in ultrarunning.
