Excited IRONMAN

Marathon was a success. For me it
is a personal mission fulfilled, that we are able to introduce a community run
in the cosmopolitan and running-friendly city like
Gurgaon. The Millennium City Marathon is an
initiative to bring the diverse people of Gurgaon together on a platform of
health, create awareness about the importance of fitness, and above all, to
feel a part of the same millennium city that is home
to all of us.”

said, “Millennium
City Marathon has been a very successful attempt to encourage people living in
the millennium city to draw time from their busy schedule and work towards a
healthy life and running is the best way to initiate healthy living!”
