Seasoned marathon runners gear up for Adani Ahmedabad Marathon

AHMEDABAD: Seasoned marathon runners are gearing up for the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon 2023, one of the city's biggest events, which is scheduled to take place on November 26.

The 83-year-old Munindra Vasavada, who will be the oldest runner at the 7th edition of the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon, spoke about his preparation for the event.

"I live in Gandhinagar with my son, who is a professor at a university here. So just a few days ago, I took part in a local running event. Everyone was so excited about my completion of the event. Looking forward to being in Ahmedabad on the 26th with my family. Although, I would say, walking and running is part of my routine, part of my life because in my young days, we didn't have easy access to vehicles, walking was the only way of commute," said Munindra Vasavada.

Vasavada further shared how running runs in his blood. The 83-year-old said, "Even though we have easy access to vehicles now, I believe in simple living. I still prefer walking and running marathons has become my hobby. I've been taking part in the marathons for 8-10 years now. My granddaughter takes part with me in the running events." IANS
