The Marathon started from the Sahid Minar on Red Road and through Dufferin Road, Casurina Avenue, Victoria Memorial and Hastings ended in the same spot. Organised in active participation with the Kolkata Police, enthusiasm about the event and the remarkable number of participants who took part in the run had to be seen to be believed.

Prof Dilip Shah lauded the efforts of the organisers and put on record his appreciation of the spirit of the BE-ites who had not only graced the occasion with their participation but had done their bit to spread the word about the causes that the marathon espouses.
