Lipton International Marathon in Bangalore on September 17th 2006

Following the Chennai Marathon held on February 5th 2006, the much anticipated Lipton International Marathon (aka Bangalore Marathon 2006) is finally round the corner. Scheduled initially for May 14th, this event had been postponed since. It is now all set to "break ground" on September 17th.

With a registered headcount of 50+ Bitsian runners, the event shows incredible promise.

We at BITS.aid have run an extra mile and are working on garnering support for BITS.aid and its projects through the showcase that the run presents. A team is working on publicity posters, newsletters on training updates and projects supported, and an official T-shirt for the runners representing BITS.aid

The money raised will be utilized to fund
  • Plan 100, a joint mission by Lend a Hand and Yuva Foundation, to bring technology to rural schools
  • Parikrama, an NGO that makes quality education possible for slum dwellers and workers below the poverty line
