Since its inception, Tata Mumbai Marathon’s journey has been transformational - from starting a health & fitness revolution that spawned over 1700 races in the country to creating a springboard for Indian long- and middle-distance runners with representation at the Olympics. Procam distance running events have also opened a new paradigm for sports sponsorships and created an eco-system around the sport estimated at $400 million.
Furthermore, Tata Mumbai Marathon has been a silver lining for the social sector; more than 1,000 plus NGOs working for multiple causes have cumulatively raised over Rs 429.60 crores using these events as fundraising platforms, making them India’s largest sporting platforms for philanthropy.
