The Sanskriti Yuva Sanstha and World Trade Park organized the Jaipur Marathon on Sunday. Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra flagged off the 14th edition of the Jaipur Marathon from Ramniwas Bagh.
On this occasion, he proclaimed the motto “Clean Jaipur, Swasth Jaipur,” saying that similar marathon activities will further the “Fit India” initiative. He asserted that only by experiencing such things, we can advance toward having a healthy body and mind. Mishra expressed his congratulations and best wishes to the runners who took part in the marathon from both India and overseas.
In addition to Governor Mishra, a sizable crowd also attended the marathon, including MP Ramcharan Bohra, Bollywood celebrities Sonu Sood and Rannvijay, and Pandit Suresh Mishra of Sanskriti Yuva Sansthan, the event’s organiser.
People began showing up at the Albert Hall gate for the marathon as early as three in the morning. This marathon attracted participants from all around the world, and it was divided into various categories. Many participants in the marathon did it while sporting turbans. Along with the youth, a sizable number of others of various ages took part in it.
When conversing with everyone, Sonu Sood stated that Jaipur residents are aware of fitness. He said, “Everyone in this pandemic has received the word to be active, and it makes them happy to see that 10,000 people are running here. In addition to providing entertainment, I also want to help people understand their societal obligations. Rajasthan and Jaipur hold a particular place in my heart since I always experience an outpouring of love there that I will never forget.”
