2012 estimated runner figures for India and the
US
People in India don’t run because of…
Bad Roads
Stress
No impetus on sports
Lazy attitude
Who are the one’s who do run?
Government / Military armed services
Foreigners
Corporate employees
Fitness enthusiasts
But that number is very less
So where do we find more runners?
Youngsters(16 – 30 years)

The initiative behind ‘Trekkers and
Runners’ is to bring people to realize the untapped excitement
they will feel when they go and
experience runs and treks either with us or by themselves
Why Running?
Simplest & The Most Cost Effective sport
Releases more than just sweat
Builds muscles
self-motivation
Produces a sense of achievement
Mumbai Marathon 2013
Participation : 40,000
0.3% of Mumbai’s population
We want to get more people to run and
give them reasons to do it
‘The Madh-Marve run’ is one such
reason
Why Marve?
Because malad is a large mumbai suburb and doesn’t have its own running group or
races
We want to change that
The Marve route is a fantastic quiet green stretch adjacent to
the sea
The start point of the race
The route lined with trees
The turn to Aksa beach
The finish point at Aksa
The Route Map

*The run will see a limited participation
(50 – 75 only) because we want to keep a cap
on the number of people we can manage
This is where your help comes in

And any help in manpower to
volunteer will be highly appreciated
What do we aim to achieve through this
event?
Drive home the message of the importance of
running
Help forge interests amongst the
participants to enable them to go running together
Follow up with the participants and
encourage them to keep running with a
weekly training program
Lastly, receive the motivation to
organize more such runs
