2 It s very hard at the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually, you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit. GEORGE SHEEHAN M.D., AUTHOR The track, to me, was like an open book, in which I could read the meaning and purpose of life. I revered it like I would the sanctum sanctorum in a temple, where the deity resided and before whom I would humbly prostrate myself as a devotee. To keep myself steadfast to my goal, I renounced all pleasures and distractions, to keep myself fit and healthy, and dedicated my life to the ground where I could practice and run. Running had thus become my God, my religion and my beloved, You can achieve anything in life. It just depends on how desperate you are to achieve it. Discipline, hard work, will power... My experience made me so hard that I wasn t even scared of death. MENTOR & INSPIRATION FLYING SIKH Shri Milkha Singh PADMA SHRI I feel extremely proud to be associated with Bengaluru Midnight Marathon. With the distinction of being the only midnight marathon in the country, it is not only providing a platform for the runners but is also creating a sense of social responsibility among the people. With this year s theme Happy Bengaluru, Rotary Bangalore IT Corridor is taking the objective to create a healthy and clean Bengaluru. I wish them all the good luck and hope to see it as one of the most acclaimed marathons in the world. YOUTH ICON Ms Saina Nehwal PADMA BHUSHAN I am pleased to be a part of this unique race which has so many wonderful elements - the spirit of running, good health, feeling of brotherhood and most of all, helping to raise money for the humanitarian projects that Rotary Bangalore IT Corridor runs. I wish them the very best and hope to see it as one of the most celebrated marathons in the world soon. BRAND AMBASSADOR BMM 2016 Ms MC Mary Kom PADMA BHUSHAN
