About Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team
The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team's UK activities form part of the international organisation founded by Sri Chinmoy in 1977. The team has promoted events in Britain since the late 1970s, combining short road races with endurance challenges. Its UK calendar reaches places including London, Bristol, Oxford, Edinburgh and Perth.
In London, where the team says it has organised races since 1981, Battersea Park is a regular setting. The wider UK programme has included the Tooting 24-hour race, Scottish ultra-distance events and beginner triathlons. These are event-specific venues, not evidence that the team has one shared weekly training base.
The team's account of its members includes Channel swimmer Karteek Clarke, cyclist Tejvan Pettinger and ultra-runner Abichal Sherrington. Those published associations describe different periods and disciplines, not a current competitive roster. Prospective participants should follow the relevant race page for entry and practical details; the London contact is specifically for race enquiries rather than a general membership office.
