Organiser's Note

"Every journey begins with small steps. All Runners are beginners and at one point or another, we are all on start line. Running keeps you young and Movement is the best form of medication."

Inspired by this, Solapur Runner’s Association is hosting - SOLAPUR MARATHON on Sunday 8th January, 2023 in the textile city of Solapur. SOLAPUR MARATHON event is being organized by the Solapur Runners Association (SRA), a non-profit organization formed by a group of enthusiastic runners from Solapur city. The SRA is formed by some highly influential members of the society who are successful in their respective professional fields. Majority belong to medical fraternity and are from different subspecialities. ABILITY, MOTIVATION ATTITUDE: If you make them work together, you can achieve great things.

A small group became a team of dedicated runners and fitness enthusiasts and started motivating each other and their friends and family to RUN to stay HEALTHY. Motivation is what gets you started and HABIT is what keeps you going. What began as a occasional run became a habit and these members envisioned a dream to hold this unprecedented event with a soul purpose to nurture health awareness in the society and to bring the local community together for a common cause.
