"hmm... so-so..." (about: 2006)
First Marathon
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 5 I ran the Dream Run 7KM race -- it was almost a farce. With over 35,000 people participating and hardly any serious runners, it was kind of difficult to weave through the crowd and run in the time you stipulated. Most of the people were there for the "spirit" (no denying that running for charity is a good cause, but there was no running "etiquette" of sorts) and had no intention of running. I hope next year the management at least makes 2 separate lanes for the walkers and the runners. | |

"event getting better, but lots still to iron out" (about: 2006)
4-5 previous marathons
| 2 Mumbai Marathons
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 2 Fantastic on participatory enthusiasm. Good organization considering the scale. Spectators need to be more supportive. Just ran the half marathon, and all was fine except at the most crucial point - the finishing stretch - the time when you burn your final cylinders and scorch the last 500 meters. Last year, half-marathoners had to wade through dream runners. This year it was the senior citizens. They occupied the entire width of the road, ambling in the park. Wouldn't even make way. This after running almost 21K and you're running on empty, one has to scream to make way and still experience utter apathy. The organizers need to seriously think this over. Maybe the lesser races ought to have different routes. Or at least, a lane should be dedicated to those coming in from the more serious races. It ruined what was otherwise a fantastic experience and excellent organization. | |

"Considering the numbers, excellent organization" (about: 2005)
First Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was a true-to-life eye-opener to what the human machine can do if adequately maintained. Expecting this event to occur in 2006, a phenomenal number of people must have been motivated to improve their fitness. Last year I did the Dream Run and this year the half marathon. | |

"poor start times" (about: 2005)
2 previous marathons
| 2 Mumbai Marathons
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 1 FANS: 5 Anyone finishing the marathon after 3:30 and half marathon after 1:35 was doomed to 'run' with the dream 'walkers' at the most critical time (i.e., the finish), when you don't have the energy to wade through thousands of revelers. Bag pick-up took 1 hour and chip return 45 minutes. | |

"Run the Mumbai Run" (about: 2004)
2 previous marathons
| 1 Mumbai Marathon
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 5 Run the Mumbai Run. I ran the 7km last year. This year I am planning to run the 21km. It is a good experience to run with an international runner. |
