The Pune International Marathon is an annual marathon foot-race held in Pune, India. Pune International Marathon was the first Marathon Race of the Country. The first edition of the race was begun in 1983, and the 29th edition will be held in 2014. It attracts many international participants, who compete with local and national runners in the distinct climate of the Indian subcontinent. It hosted the Asian Marathon Championship race in 2010.[1]
The event also organises a short celebrity run in which film personalities and national athletes participate and raise money for charitable causes.
In its 21st year, this event attracted over 50,000 runners from India and around the world. Corporate participants also helped in this battle against HIV/AIDS by participating in the 4.5 km Race against AIDS. All the money collected from this race is donated to Project Concern International, a widely respected NGO working towards HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention in Pune.
Pune Marathon 2010 was a silver jubilee edition of the event. The organisers had introduced the Women's Full Marathon and Men's Half Marathon categories.
Since 1983, thousands of runners from all walks of life have taken part in the event. Pune International Marathon is now widely used as a platform to spread social messages and to raise funds for charitable causes. Athletics Federation of India has awarded the status of National Marathon Championship to Pune International Marathon. The Marathon route consists of Pune's scenic and historic locations with thousands of spectators lining up along the course to cheer the participants. It is the most anticipated running festival in the City of Pune.
