Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon 2011: When Mumbai ran for causes

What's your time?" that was the question on everybody's mind-athletes, corporate chiefs, celebrities and the common man alike who participated in the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon 2011 . Although everyone was keeping a close watch on their timing, it really didn't matter in the end. What stood out were the causes for which they all ran and a sense of solidarity. In its eighth year, the event saw 38,400 participants against 22,000 in its year of inception. Reserve Bank of India Deputy Governor Shyamala Gopinath , in her third consecutive year, clocked little over an hour to complete the dream run. She was happy to participate in the event along with her over 200 team members.

I also thought it was the solidarity and community spirit that the marathon generates that truly stands out :)
