The city of Mangaluru on Sunday February 19 set a new record for itself, next only to Bengaluru, as over15,000 people, young and old alike, filled the streets as part of the half marathon and 10 km run organized by Nitte University along with DK Athletics Association.
Mayor Harinath and Nitte Education Trust chairman Vinay Hegde flagged off the run at Mangala Stadium early morning.
Brand ambassador of the event, athletes Anil Shetty and Shridhar Alva were present.
The run was held in various categories, namely 5 km for high school boys, 5 km for college boys, 3 km for college girls, 21 km (half marathon) for men, women and seniors (46-60 years), 3 km for high school girls, special race for the differently-abled, 3 km run for primary students (boys), and 2 km for primary students (girls).
There were also 10 km run for men, women, and for senior citizens (in men and women categories) above 61 years of age.
The half marathon which began from Mangala Stadium moved towards Mannagudda, New Chitra, old Balaji theatre, Bunder, Rao and Rao Circle, Hampankatta, KS Rao Road, PVS Circle, Lalbagh, Bejai Kapikad, Kuntikan, Derebail, Kavoor, Bondel and back the same route upto Lalbagh, and then to the stadium. The 10 km run took a U-turn at Kuntikan road and back to the stadium; while the 5 km run took a left turn at old Balaji theatre, moved towards Sharavu temple and then to KS Rao Road, PVS circle, Lalbagh, and back to the stadium.
Addressing the closing ceremony, Vinay Hegde said, "It is good to see that this marathon has turned out to be a successful one. We are organising this marathon for the fifth time. Lots of young athletes took part in this marathon. It is a proud moment for us to witness over 15,000 athletes taking part, which is a record, next only to the Bengaluru Marathon.
"The education system has changed. Usually, in the month of February exams are scheduled due to which the aspiring athletes cannot participate in marathons. In future, we need to look into this so that large numbers of athletes take part in such marathons," he said.
Principal commissioner (IT) Narottham Mishra said, "The Althletic Association and Nitte have taken a good initiative in oraganising this 5th marathon in Mangaluru to create health awareness among the people, and in turn have rendered a great service to the society. Athletes took part with good spirit and sportsmanship and I congragulate all the participants on making this marathon a big success."
