Aurangabad being the 'Tourism Capital of Maharashtra,' Lokmat is in touch with the travel and tourism sector to create exciting offers for tourists to not only be a part of this marathon but also enjoy the weekend in the breath-taking beauty of the city and a visit to the heritage sites of Ajanta and Ellora.

The theme of the marathon – 'I run for myself' will have the 21 km half marathon, 10 km power run, 5 km fun run and the 3 km family run.

We have also received response from other parts of Maharashtra and serious runners across the country. Our endeavour is to make this marathon an important practice run for runners of the Mumbai marathon in January every year. Involving various associations and athletic clubs in the city, this event will connect with the people of Aurangabad.”
