Mumbai Police launched a new initiative 'Sunday Street Marathon' for the locals of the city to get a free stretch run on the streets. Mumbai Police Commissioner, Sanjay Pandey inaugurated the event on Sunday. The marathon saw hundreds of participants on the street in the early morning hours of Sunday. Before the Marathon began, the contestants were divided into groups and were seen jogging at first as a warm-up drill.

"This initiative is unique in its own way, people can come and have a dedicated run every Sunday. Being the first one today, as we see the numbers in hundreds, I can only hope the numbers to grow with every Sunday", said an organising committee member (Mumbai Police). The runners were seen enthusiastic for the event and came from every nook and corner of the city.
