As a young and fast-growing organization, CapitalVia Global Research Limited has been doing corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities since its inception six years ago. This marathon is a step towards that."

"Walking, jogging and running are among the easiest activities to keep fit and it costs nothing. The aim of the Indore Marathon is to make people learn how running could improve their health and, thus, their wealth," he added.

"The target audience of this marathon is everyone for whom health is important and is responsible to care for their family. So, put on the shoes gear up for the run; your journey towards healthy living has begun," he further said.

We live in a time when the whole life around us is surrounded by machines be it home or office. Hence, there is a complete lack of physical activity that makes our body and mind vulnerable to external forces. This marathon will provide the people of Indore to take a break from the machines and run for health. The registration fee for the five-km race is Rs 199 while it is Rs 399 for the 10-km event. And what is more? To make the whole experience more fun, and win some handsome Prizes as well.
