Some comments from our first marathon and a half on
Feb 22nd 2009:
“I ran Half-Marathon on Sunday. It
was a great experience.
I would like to thank you and
your team, who were superb in managing the whole
event.
Special thanks to all the cyclists who kept
cheering us up all the time.
The planning and
execution behind the whole event was immaculate. “ Vivek
Sharma
“Thanks to efforts done by all of you, that I could
complete the last leg of my First Full Marathon...As is
always true, the last leg of marathon is the most
difficult one, but the love, affection and support
showered by Cyclist Volunteers, and others was very
commanding.... Everybody was cheering me up.
In last 3.5 KM, volunteers travelled in their
Cars/cycles to give me Gatorade, Cake, and water etc,,
and moreover i was escorted by the most
enthusiastic runner and Event Organiser I have ever
seen, who travelled with me, till the end of Race,
making me a very special guest of the event.” Sunil
Kumar
“Please accept my heartfelt thanks for organizing
such a wonderful event and in general championing a
cause and creating a community of runners in Gurgaon. I
think arrangements were superb, better than the “Richest
Half Marathon of the World” and a lot of credit goes to
you and many volunteers who made it a success. I look
forward to many more enjoyable runs with Running and
Living in months and years to come.” Gaurav Sethi

career that i had cows buffalos and dogs running on and
along the course” Rangan Iyer
