    Still a good idea.

    Next day’s newspaper headline: Midnight marathon runners run over by drunk drivers after Saturday partying.

    Thanks for that info, Charles… guess the organisers now stand corrected! Their site is badly concieved too and for an event being touted as the world’s first, it appeared very amateurish!

    Well, given the state of our traffic and drivers, there may very well have been no choice as far as timing is concerned ;)

    Seems quite farcical. The course basically loops around some office buildings in Whitefield ! In general, given that long distance running is still a new sport in India, what sense does it make to have a midnight marathon. … oh I forgot – a few million Rupees in sponsorships. The running community should stand up and reject such blatant commercialism.

    I am curious though, to see how many *serious* runners will show up for this. If a substantial number (has to be in the thousands for a city the size of Bangalore), I will stand humbly corrected.

    Did anyone notice those “double income, affluent IT, well traveled” words on one slide …pathetic.
