Mumbai Marathon 2006!!!! :-)

[geetu]

Hello people!

Rather late than never! lets start talking about the

MUMBAI MARATHON!!!!
15th Jan 2006

Important Gyaan about the Marathon.. before i go on about it..

• Its on 15th Jan
• Last Date of Registration is 15th Dec
• You can register at Planet M outlets or online via credit card!
  For more details of the marathon , Visit the website... http://mumbaimarathon.indiatimes.com/

More about it??? ....

• The Dream Run (7 km run) is a pretty achievable target.. i know.. i did it last time (Mumbai Marathon 2005-Running for NASEOH)..!
  
• There is sooo much crowd and soo much enthusiasm in the crowd that you dont even realise when you reach the finish line! LOL
• They give you biscuits and water.. its more like a picnic!
• When strangers/ friends have pledged their hard earned Moolah on U.. u jus get that extra push to make it to the finish line..
• You have the options of Jogging/ Running/ Walking/ Waddling/ Crawling.. Trust me.. we did it all last year (Mumbai Marathon 2005-Running for NASEOH)..!
• Its once in a year oppurtunity.. and lemme tell u.. once u go for it.. u long for the next one!

OK.. now on a much serious note..
Why run for the marathon?? Why "pledge" on someone who is running for the marathon.. Its simpler to quote PG here..

The idea is to spread awareness amongst people about the NGO and also try to raise money for a good cause. You could donate some amount of money to the cause as a matter of goodwill or to make it more exciting you could pledge your money on one of the runners

If you are intrested in running this marathon with us or want to pledge for a runner, Post here... and SOON!!! time is running..

Isn't there any entrance exam clashing with Mumbai Marathon this year? While I was in Mumbai, every year there was an entrance exam (2004 and 2005) on the same day!

And now that I dont have any entrance exams to give, I will be in Kharagpur! Sad. I shall run in the Mumbai Marathon some year though.
