Keeping pace with the Pacers
Over 200 enthusiastic runners took part in the 5-km ‘Run with Pacers’ event, organised by Procam International in association with Asian Heart Institute. The runners included cancer survivors, senior citizens and those who have undergone bypass surgery. The warm-up aspect of the event — held as a precursor to the 13th Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon — was led by Nawaz Modi Singhania, founder of Body Art and fitness expert.
About 28 pacers — 15 for the half-marathon and 13 for marathon — will assist the main runners to achieve their targeted time. The field will comprise course record-holders Jackson Kiprop and Valentine Kipketer, and India’s OP Jaisha, Sudha Singh and Lalita Babar.
