A big team and good number of sponsors , good prize money and lot of participants supporting this for good cause .. If u want to register and participate in it , visit the site and register at www.givelife-chennaimarathon.com
After seeing the site , somethings in it really irritated me .. I dont understand why there is a special prize for Tamil people ..What are they trying to say out of it .. Also see the following lines from the site
"The celebrated Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon has so far helped raise Rs. 26 crores in the last 5 years for various social and charitable causes. It is now time for Chennaites to tell the world that Chennai truly cares?!"
I dont think that the last line is really needed ..Its just targeting local feeling of chennai ..Damn shit ..
Allover , the event should become a success bcoz it is for a good cause .. Give Life is really doing a good job ..
