Patna Marathon – 19 FEB 2012

Here are some of the details mentioned below which tells about eligibility, categories, routes, length
of the route, start time of events under different categories, etc…

Please make note of one very important point – At start of the event all the runner have same
stamina and run to their full speed. And I think, Gandhi Maidan does not have any opening (Gate)
through which more than 20 people will pass through at a time. During the start of any of the event
mentioned below there will be more than 100 people who will try to come out from the Gandhi
Maidan. Hence we thought of ​S.K Memorial as starting point. People can stand in a line starting from
S.K. Memorial​ till ​Kargil Chauk​, followed by second line and so on…

Other activities like Children run, Fancy Dress, etc will be part of ​Celebration Run​. These activities
would take place mainly inside Gandhi Maidan area. If some group of people trying to display some
theme around Gandhi Maidan, that can also be taken into consideration.

Activities under ​Celebration Run will not be associated with Cash Prize. Instead of cash prize, they
will be given goodies like Memento which will display Images of Bihar like (Gol Ghar, Seven Martyrs,
Nalanda University, Bodh Gaya, etc). These Mementos will also be given to Winner along with Prize
Money.

Memento:​ – To showcase History and Culture of Bihar. We can also create our own memento.

For Children, we can think of BEN TEN, Micky-Mouse, Tweety, Teddy Bear, etc.
