Mumbai Marathon on May 30

- FPJ NEWS SERVICE

Procam Internatio­nal, promoters of Asia’s most prestigiou­s marathon, on Tuesday announced the Tata Mumbai Marathon (TMM) will take place on May 30 this year.

With cautious optimism and hope, this decision has been taken after deliberati­on and collaborat­ive efforts with the state and civic authoritie­s, including the Indian and Internatio­nal Athletic bodies.

Guided by the prevailing government protocol, Procam Internatio­nal will look to conduct the on-ground event, with limited participat­ion in the Full Marathon, Half Marathon and 10 Km runs. While limited numbers will run from their scheduled location, participan­ts from across India and the world, will be able to run as one with TMM from a location of their preference, via the official TMM 2021 App.

The promoters shall continue to monitor the situation, with the single-minded focus of the safety of all participan­ts, officials, volunteers and the running fraternity.

This reschedule­d date should give runners the necessary time to prepare as they continue with their training regimen in eager anticipati­on of race date for the 18th edition of Tata Mumbai Marathon. Furthermor­e, NGOs, companies and individual fundraiser­s get valuable time for effective outreach, in order to raise funds for their chosen cause.

Details including format of the race, registrati­on details, safety measures, protocols, and participan­t requiremen­ts will be shared at a later date.

Further details about the Tata Mumbai Marathon 2021, a World Athletics Road Race Elite Label, will be available on the website of the event: tatamumbai­marathon.procam.in
