When I saw these kids standing on the front row, my message to all the seniors was catch them if you can.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;They are going to run. It&#39;s time to keep up with them. They have got the message. It&#39;s important that seniors also respond to that. So far it has been fantastic, let&#39;s make it even better,&quot; the holder of virtually every individual record on the cricket field added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Later, tweeting a picture with blade runner Afzal Khan, Tendulkar hailed his spirit saying he is an inspiration to many.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We all have our days when we look for excuses not to get up, get out and exercise. This young man leaves no room for any. You&#39;re an inspiration blade runner Afzal Khan. Keep on running!&quot; he tweeted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>City homemaker Pooja Jain, a mother of two, also took part in the event, running the full marathon in a saree.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tendulkar was in a relaxed mood wearing a white sponsors t-shirt and black track pants.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The moment the emcee of the event announced his name, the participants halted in their tracks and started queuing up in front of the stage designated for the &#39;Master Blaster&#39;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The batting maestro was seen spending time with kids and spotting them from among the crowd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Kemon acho Kolkata (How are you Kolkata)?&quot; said Tendulkar to continuous chants of &#39;Sachin! Sachin!&#39; in the background.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tendulkar signed on his autobiography &quot;Playing It My way&quot; also as scores of fans halted their marathon run to have a glimpse of their idol.<\/p>\r\n",
