CM completes Half Marathon, hopes event gains global recognition like prestigious marathons
\nSRINAGAR, OCTOBER 20: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah<\/a> expressed hope that the Kashmir Marathon would become an annual event and earn recognition comparable to prestigious marathons around the world.
\nThe Chief Minister made these remarks after completing his 21-kilometer half marathon, which he had flagged off earlier in the morning from Polo View, Srinagar.
\n\u201cI hope that the Kashmir Marathon will be organised every year and gain recognition, like the well-known marathons around the world,\u201d said Omar Abdullah.
\nIn his address, the Chief Minister extended his congratulations to all the participants who completed their races, adding that he himself hadn\u2019t expected to finish the half marathon.
\n\u201cI extend my congratulations to all the runners who completed their race. I didn\u2019t expect that I would be able to finish my half marathon. Never in my life had I run more than 12 or 13 kilometers, but running alongside other participants encouraged me to complete it,\u201d he shared.
\nThe Chief Minister also expressed his gratitude to the organizers, stakeholders, and the people of Srinagar for their support.
\n\u201cI thank the administration for their excellent management of the event. I am also grateful to the people of Srinagar, whose presence and encouragement motivated the runners.\u201d
\nEarlier in the day, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah flagged off the Kashmir Marathon, the first international athletic event of its kind to be held in the valley.
\nHe was accompanied by Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty, who participated in the flag-off ceremony alongside approximately 2,000 athletes from across India and abroad.
\nMinister for Youth Services & Sports, Satish Sharma; Advisor to Chief Minister, Nasir Aslam Wani; Chief Secretary, Atal Dulloo; Commissioner Secretary Tourism, Yasha Mudgal; Secretary Youth Services & Sports, Sarmad Hafeez; and Director Tourism Kashmir, Raja Yaqoob, were also present at the ceremony.
\nThe marathon featured top long-distance runners from India, including Asian gold medalists, as well as elite athletes from Europe and Africa.
\nThe event included two race categories: a 42-kilometerfull marathon and a 21-kilometer half marathon.
\nThe event was organised by the Department of Tourism and the marathon aimed to showcase the improving situation in the valley and promote Kashmir as a prime destination for international events.
\nBollywood actor Suniel Shetty also shared his enthusiasm for the event, saying, \u201cThis is going to be one of the most participated marathons in the world. Where else can you get to run 42 kilometers in paradise!\u201d<\/p>\n
