It’s marathon time at Powai

Even before the annul marathon can take place Mumbaikars will get an opportunity to participate in another marathon that will be held at Powai, Mumbai. The Rotary Club of Mumbai Lakers (RCML), along with Dr LH Hiranandani Hospitalwill organize the event in January 2012 for sportsand fitness enthudiasts. The event has been organized to raise awareness about health, and to raise funds for charity.

Last year around 2,500 people participated in the run, which helped RCML to raise funds for the solar electrification of the rural town of Jawahar and towards education of the girl child. The event was split into twoa 4km walk around the periphery of the picturesque

Hiranandani Gardens and a 10km run within the boundaries of Powai Eager to spread the goodwill further, the club has planned a second marathon in Jan 2013. Dr Chatterjee, CEO of Dr L H Hiranandani Hospital, says, “This year we hope that the participation will be more than double of what we had last year. The aim is to get people to be active and exercise which is good for health. Also it can serve in time to be the prelude for the more famous runs that occurs in Mumbai.”

The success of the first year is inspiring enough for its organising members to believe that one good turn deserves another! Says Ravi Jaswani, from RCML, “Following the response last year, we’re keen to make the run more successful this year. With the many corporate houses supporting us, Run Powai Run 2013 will be an event to look out for.” For more information about the marathon long on to www.rotarylakers.org.
