In recent years there has been a great awareness amongst the people about running, you could see people running in the morning in many cities in the country and they have also formed groups in different suburbs. They have also made several WhatsApp groups to exchange information. So now people are more aware of the strength training, diet and exercises regarding running. It's actually good that now what they know have to eat, drink and how much rest they need. So it's good for the runners. Running off late has become a passion for many. Because it's a very good exercise and you don't need any equipment to run, just a pair of shoes and a tracksuit is enough and you can do it anywhere, anytime. On road, in the garden, walking tracks. So it's really very easy to pursue ruining as a hobby. Plus it has huge health benefits. Basically, when you run, you can get rid of many health issues, right from diabetes, BP etc..

So nowadays running as an exercise and way of life is pursued by many and that is what is on display here in Mumbai Marathon. When we went there to collect the bib, there was a huge crowd in a large pendant the organizers had arranged to issue the bibs and other information about the event.
There are many categories in the marathon first for the elite runners those who are very fast and basically professional runners who participate in competition right from Olympics to other sporting events. Second is the full marathon that is for those amateurs who run the full 48k marathon then its half marathon and 10 k marathon then there is old people's senior citizen group and for handy capped too. The pendant was vibrant. Many stalls were there for sports wears, shoes, health drinks and foods and other health equipment etc.
All the positive energy could be felt all over. People were very excited to collect the BIB and other material like T-shirts and bags etc. which the organisers were providing. Some people were taking photos in front of the big curtain displaying the MTT logo and picture of a runner and a replica of the medal.
Many people were waiting for their friends and group members and chit chatting with them. Some people were coming with their baggage because they were coming directly from either airport of trains. They come across the country to participate in this great event.
It would be the end of the Marathon season which started in July. So it is a GALA festival for the runners. There will a holiday for runner s now ….hahaha!! (and a big relief for their spouses too!!!!!!!!) since last 5-6 months, they training vigorously for this GALA event and all of them are eager to participate and check their capabilities.
