Sri Chinmoy 5K and 7-Mile Races to Take Place in March

January 10 14:02 2019
The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team is preparing for the first races of 2019. The Sri Chinmoy 5K & 7-Mile Race will take place in Prospect Park this March.

The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team is holding its first two long-distance races of the new year on Sunday, March 10, 2019, in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. These will consist of both a 5K and a 7-mile race.

This is the third year in a row for the USATF-certified Sri Chinmoy 5K and 7-mile race. Over 50 men and woman participated in the inaugural races in this event in 2017, and that number climbed to over 190 racers in 2018. Sponsors expect the 2019 race to have double that amount.

The two races will be held on a scenic loop course in Prospect Park. The 5K is just short of one complete loop of the park, while the 7-Miler will consist of two loops.

Early registration for the races runs from now through February 22, 2018, and participants may register online or by mail. Registration after February 22 will be online only, and race-day registration may not be available so be sure to sign up early!

Participants can take advantage of a bag check, and there will be aid stations every mile.

There will be awards in men’s and women’s categories in different age groups and medals for all finishers. There will also be a post-race pancake breakfast!

About the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team

The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team was formed in 1977 by students of the Indian meditation master, author, poet, and philosopher Sri Chinmoy, who believed that participating in sport – particularly long-distance running – was a natural aid to well-being. Since its founding, the team has sponsored several long-distance races each year, including the famous – or infamous – Self-Transcendence Ten Day Race.
