Mimoh Chakraborty: “I’d love to take part. It tests us to see how far we can go. How much we can push ourselves. And what we are truly made of.”
Ruslaan Mumtaz: “To me the marathon is all about unity. It’s about the coming together of every person who’s a part of Mumbai. I ran with all my fellow-dancers from Shiamak Davar’s school. For me, the marathon is also a reunion party.”
Sameer Dharmadhikari: “I’m working from early morning on Sunday. I’m a sportsperson and have been running for the marathon in Pune. It’s a good way of checking your physical and mental health.”
Samir Soni: “I could not run because I’ve had knee surgery and have been advised not to. As an event it does get tremendous media attention. I’m not sure of how much it helps the social causes it supports. Only the organizations can answer, but great for the enthusiasts and for the spirit of the city it is a good platform to break a few barriers and bring the people closer.”
Mona Singh: “I opted out because of a bad knee. I’d have loved to participate. It means a lot to me because all Mumbaikars irrespective of age caste and religion come together to run for a cause.”
Pritam Chakraborty: “Couldn’t run due to health reasons. To me, the marathon is a amalgamation of individual will and a collective realisation of a wider cause.”
