Together then, we laid the foundation and dug in deep the five pillars of Pride & Prestige to the city of Mumbai Communal Harmony Health & Fitness Charity A showcase of the best national and international running talent Was it difficult? Pretty close to impossible actually At the outset, we faced a mix of contempt and disbelief. The Question asked of us was Not? What, How, Where or When, but - WHO ARE YOU: "When for the President of India, we do a 2-km rolling road closure, why would we shut Mumbai's roads for six hours. Please tell me Who are you? However, by the Grace of God, the vision and support of a few good men and the faith and patience of our sponsors and partners, the Marathon is today a sporting movement, that has spread to the corners of our country. The Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon, has inculcated a sense of pride in our citizenry provided an exceptional platform for charity and been a catalyst for a health and fitness revolution. Through the years, the Mumbai Marathon has stayed true to its founding principles; and through this book "The Possible Dream", we hope to inspire the youth of our country to Dream.
