Salwan marathon to begin on November 5

New Delhi, Aug 30 (IANS) The 22nd edition of the Salwan Marathon will begin on November 5 at Brar Square, Delhi Cantt here, it was announced on Wednesday.

This year promises to be more challenging for all the categories and will see a tougher route with an increasing number of students registering from the North- East, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.

Announcing the details of the run, Samrata Diwan, spokesperson, Salwan Marathon said: "it's all about courage, to go that extra mile in search for perfection and to bring laurels to their institution."

"But what is amazing is that it's a tough competition amongst the rural v/s urban children, with the students from the rural background certainly having an upper edge as in the past 16 years or so, perhaps due to their living style, their struggle or maybe this is their chance to prove their mettle.

"We strongly believe that Sport is all inclusive and a necessity for all students, with or without intellectual disabilities. We would like to integrate the visually impaired and differently abled children with the mainstream students through the inspirational power of running," he added.
