The recently concluded Mumbai Marathon on Sunday was the curtain raiser to a new decade of the event in the city. Now in its 11th edition, the marathon has become a fixture on the city’s calendar, a looked forward to event for fitness enthusiasts and spectators alike.

It is up to the Mumbaikar, both layperson and police alike, to keep the spirit alive. This year’s edition, while being a gut wrenching, adrenalin-packed event like it usually is, saw trademark Mumbai discipline slipping up at times. On the Worli Sea Face stretch, some persons were seen walking on the course, even as some runners were negotiating it; they were wandering about, trying to get to some place or the other, irking runners in the process.
