The Tata Mumbai Marathon (TMM) elite athletes are ready to set the 42-km course ablaze on Sunday, January 18. There was a spring in every stride as they walked into the TMM Media Centre on Friday for a media interaction.

The African safari is back, like every year to make Mumbai their own. Bazezew Asmare Belay from Ethiopia has completed nine marathons to date with his 10th tryst with the distance in Mumbai. He has a Personal Best (PB) of 2:04:57 at the 2022 TCS Amsterdam Marathon. In response to a question that he has run nine marathons, but is yet win one, he said the nine races, “had very strong fields.” He hopes to flip that script on Sunday.
