Kenya's Kenneth Mugara won the January 2009 Mumbai Marathon in record time today. He finished the race in 2 hrs and 11 minutes 51 seconds, 12 seconds clean of the previous course record.
Some of the celebs seen in the 42km marathon were Anil Ambani, Milind Soman, Arjun Rampal, Vinay Pathak, Shreyas Talpade, Rahul Bose, Om Puri, Tara Sharma, Lillete Dubey, Dolly Thakore, Anand Mahindra, Amit Chandra, Archana Chandra, Sanjeev Kapoor and Annabelle Mehta.
The event's brand ambassadors were John Abraham, three-time Olympic champions Gabriela Szabo and Gail Devers, and famous Moroccan long distance runner Hicham El Guerrouj!
Thousands of people enthusiastically turned up for the marathon each running for a special cause. Every year, the marathon provides the city with a platform to come together in a celebration that cuts across social and economic barriers. It brings together the common man, the corporate czar, the politician, the socialite and the physically challenged onto one platform. Hats off to Mumbai!!
