750 runners participate in the city's inaugural Mall Run

OVER 750 MUMBAIKARS today made a 7km circuit-dash at the High Street Phoenix Mall in Lower Parel, coming together for the city's first-ever Mall Run powered by Ascis.

Enthusiastic runners congregated from all corners of the city, all for the love the sport and a commitment to fitness. Participants of the upcoming SCMM 2016 ran alongside other enthusiasts, experiencing the newest entrant on the running circuit, one that was 7km long.

The run was organised as a lead-up to the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon and was flagged off by Dilip Jayram - CEO, Procam International along with Takahashi Yohei- Marketing Head, Asics India;  P Venkat - You too can run, and Kevin Pereira - VP, Procam International on Saturday, 24th October 2015.

Before the run, warm-up sessions were arranged and runners were also given tips on running and how to keep fit. They were also educated about the water Enerzal station that was made available at various avenues through the run. Doctors from the Asian Heart Institute were on-hand to take care of any runners that may have required any medical assistance.

Post the run, participants got necessary recovery tips and where needed, relief from bodily aches and pains at the Volini recovery zone.
