International And Indian Elite Runners Brace To Battle For Honours At Mumbai Marathon
Long recognised as one of Asia’s most competitive and demanding marathons, the race has built a reputation for attracting athletes in peak form, testing them against challenging conditions and a fast-evolving course. This year’s elite fields reflect that stature, featuring world champions, seasoned international campaigners, and the in-form Indian marathoners, all arriving in Mumbai with recent results, refined preparation, and clear competitive intent.
Among the international elite is Ethiopia’s Bazezew Asmare Belay, who arrives in Mumbai with a reputation for consistency at major city marathons. Speaking ahead of the race, Belay said, “Preparation for Tata Mumbai Marathon has been very focused, especially on maintaining rhythm in tough conditions. I have learned a lot from racing big-city marathons, and consistency has been my biggest strength over the last few seasons. Mumbai is a challenging course, and that’s what excites me as an athlete. I am looking forward to testing myself and delivering a strong race.”
