Rohit Roy: “I’ve taken part in the marathon every year since its inception. Unfortunately this was be the first year when I gave it the skip because of prior commitments. It is my loss. For me, the Mumbai Marathon embodies the very spirit of Mumbai. The zest energy and the people from all walks of life for the run simply unbelievable! It’s almost like the whole city is running for one reason. I’m going to miss the Marathon this year. But I promise I’ll be back next year. Till then, happy running, Mumbai!”
Rahul Khanna: “Sadly I’m out of town. But I think the marathon is a fantastic way of bringing people from all walks of life together. I also think it’s a great way raising awareness about the NGOs who are doing good work. Had I been in town I’d have run for any NGO that works for the education of underprivileged children or for any animal rights group.”
Rakshanda Khan: “Yes, I participated in the marathon for an NGO called Shraddha. For me the marathon is a clear indication that the heart and soul of Mumbai is still on the right track. Although people think Mumbaikars have no time to spare for others the swelling number of participants at the Marathon every year proves them wrong.
Sammir Dattani: “I’ve run for the marathon for the last two years. I hoped for a hat-trick this year. But I’m shooting in Bangalore and can’t get away. But I’ll take a long token jog on Sunday morning to feel part of the Marathon. Will miss Mumbai on Sunday.”
Sophie Chowdhary: “I’ve taken part in the marathon three times on earlier occasions. I’m most fascinated by it. The spirit of Mumbai is never on display more prominently. This time due to a knee injury I don’t think I’ll be able to take part. But I’m there in spirit.”
