Marathon - An Upcoming Sport !
No other sport has experienced anything quite like Marathons / Long-distance running in recent times. It is one of the fastest growing sports in India and across the world. Marathons events are also gaining popularity with companies/corporates to sponsor and participate in.
Marathon’s surge in popularity has various cultural and market implications, which is quite apparent in the growing number of runners and running clubs in countries like India. This has also contributed heavily to sales of running gears and sports brands.
Marathons and other long distance running events connect running enthusiasts worldwide. There are strong groups of runners associated with the brand throughout the country that do training runs before the event.
Meet and greet sessions are held to educate runners before the run. Sometimes there are even promotional runs where amateurs can interact with the more experienced runners.
Programs are also initiated to help a runner meet his/her individual goals. Certain mobile apps engage the runners on all aspects of running, training, FAQs, pacing plans as well as custom plans to reach their goals.
Demand has grown due to people embracing running as an year round activity, transforming it into a year round business. Marathons have also successfully created a different segment called “working Athletes”
The Problem
Every year millions and zillions of people like you take part in various athletic events across the globe, before you reach that point you sweat out whole year training hard and when you cross the finish line it’s not about the medals, not the prize money but the sense of achievement of getting better after each race, it about the RESULTS. It’s about the hours, minutes and seconds that counts which is celebrated.
So what happens to these race records? How are the athletes storing them?
Survey says “Nowhere”, “in the memory “, “excel spreadsheet”, ‘social media platform” or “tracking device”.
We ourselves as runners have faced this and we believe that these records are priceless and needs to be preserved at a special place where it is celebrated not for couple of days but forever.
