For the 2nd time in the history of Ichalkaranji a real Marathon with categories of half marathon, 21.1km, 10km and 5km are arranged. The event is conceptualized and brought into reality by the I M Fit group whose dedication towards fitness is unquestionable and who wanted to promote and nurture distance running as a tool to foster health awareness and to bring the entire local community together for a common cause.
The marathon route passes through the heart of the textile town giving a visual treat about the best of Ichalkaranji. It will consist many of the scenic and historic locations along with thousands of spectators lining up the course to cheer runners. This event will become the most anticipated running festival in due course of time for Ichalkaranji. This event will create a carnival atmosphere in Ichalkaranji because of its novelty and scale.
This is not a race to compete but to beat your own self. This is not about coming as the best but it is about endurance and not giving up.This is about staying put till the end and completing with a big broad smile.
Arrangements ranging from halting the traffic to medical aid to hydration are all very well covered up. Whether you choose to run or walk, you’ll find no reason to complain. And of course as usual, there will be entertainment pre and post event.
