Hi! Your description of the marathon and the run up to the marathon is awesome ……. great pics too!
I work with Child Rights & You (CRY) in Mumbai and was wondering if you would be interested in supporting ‘childrens right to education’- our campaign, this year at the upcoming Mumbai Marathon.
If you are interested you can mail me on shilpa.ahluwalia@crymail.org
Cheers.

Great coverage Busybee. Since the run on Jan 15th, I have been looking out for some detailed reports on the event, and I liked this one for sure. I have put up an “insiders view” of the event at my blog too… check it out if you want to know how some amateurs like me found the experience (though I was’nt able to click all those snaps of the celebrities while running

Very nice! the writing is nice…i like the personal touch. would suggest that you clean it up a little and get it published in a magazine/newspaper.
the pictures are wonderful and the only emotion i am left with is – ENVY!
wish i had been there.

Awesome pics. This is way too cool. I ran the Detroit marathon and will run the Chicago this year. Hopefully I will run the Bombay Marathon in the near future. Thanks for the pix. Neat. Gave me goose pimples.

Hi kris,

Thanks for dropping by. The key parameters for success, in this case, can be the number of marthon runners participating, the amount of prize money (which is linked to the amount of sponsorship) and yes, the media coverage as well. On all three counts, mumbai wins hands down.

Do you think having such a terrific media coverage is actually bad?

The event is successfull in other cities also in India. There is something to be clarified, what actually means by success of the event.
In other cities not so many people run and in no other city so many film personalities are called just to add the extra spice for media.
In other cities, the sports minister or sports association head is called and marathon is flagged off. winners go home with rewards and others who finish collect certificate/medal and head home.
If you actually see, the Mumbai Marathon was conducted more for the media coverage and not conducive for the runners. They were more interested in celebs walking down 7kms.
