The 11th edition of the Bengaluru Midnight Marathon, organised by the Rotary Bangalore IT Corridor charitable trust, gets under way this December.
Unlike the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon, which gave some major headaches to the participants thanks to the unbearable air pollution, the runners for this marathon in Bangalore are destined to have a pretty smooth and peaceful race.
The race is scheduled on December 16-17, 2017 at the Karnataka Trade Promotion Organization (KTPO) venue in Whitefield. The main objective of it is to create a platform to raise funds for health, education, social welfare and rural enlistment projects.
