"Pune, known for its rich culture and heritage, was once recognised as the city of bicycles. Now, it's renowned for education and stands as an IT hub. As our city progresses in various domains, it's our responsibility to elevate Pune to an international standard," he emphasised.
Highlighting the marathon's theme, "Run For Pune," he stated, "We will run to propel Pune forward and pledge to uphold this commitment. I invite everyone to join us for this significant event."
