An accomplished decathlete and sprinter in his youth, Sri Chinmoy always emphasised the spiritual benefits of physical fitness through sports. Since making his home in America in 1964, Sri Chinmoy completed 21 marathons, 4 ultra marathons and competed at numerous Master Games track meets. Sri Chinmoy wrote and lectured extensively on the subject of running, training and the importance of physical fitness.

In the early years of the "running boom," the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team events established standards and levels of service to participants that have now become commonplace: regular drink stations, post-race food and prizes right up the age groups to 70+ years.
