It all began in 2016-17, with the aim to promote individual health and active lifestyle. The enthusiasm for #IRunForMyself kickstarted the journey of the Lokmat Maha Marathon in 4 cities- Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (then Aurangabad), Nashik, Kolhapur and Nagpur.
The overwhelming participation in Maha Marathon of the previous year, motivated us to organize Maha Marathon Season 2 (2017-18). Our driven runners joined once more in large numbers while chanting #BhagoRe! At the top of their lungs.
For Season 3 (2018-19) of the Lokmat Maha Marathon, we motivated our runners to finish their runs with our theme- #CrossTheLine. Season 3 also welcomed a new city to its list- Pune, which saw a humongous number of registrations!
Carrying forward the abundant energy of last season with Pune's addition, Lokmat Maha Marathon’s Season 4 began with much zeal and eagerness. The race tracks became lively with laughter and teeming with endorphin release.
To revive the fervor of running in the people of Maharashtra post COVID-19 confinement, Lokmat Maha Marathon’s Season 5 was organized following all the necessary precautions. And participants indeed were more than happy to be #Backontrack.
This season saw the much-anticipated addition to the list of cities where the Maha Marathon is conducted. With the bursting spiritedness for #BhaagoBindass, Maha Mumbai became a significant part of the Lokmat Maha Marathon. Along with it we also witnessed Maha Marathon’s newly risen Yellow Army of Season 6 runners.
