VISAKHAPATNAM: With a motto to bring Vizag into the landmark destination for the runners across India and take the marathon as the best experience for the runner, the seventh edition of Vizag Navy Marathon 2022 is slated to be held on November 13.
The Indian Navy along with Sports Arena is looking to give the best possible experience for runners. The Vizag Navy Marathon has been seeing a constant increase in number of participants from 1,800 from the first edition to over 19,000 in the last edition concluded in 2019.
The official Mascot of the Vizag Navy Marathon was unveiled by the Race Director of the Marathon Dr Muralidhar Nannapaneni, Commodore Naresh Warikoo Commanding Officer INS Kalinga and others on Tuesday. This year the Vizag Navy Marathon team is working on the concept of Sustainability and adopting measures such as no plastic bottles and no flex banners for advertising the event. We plan to recycle some useful products from the waste collected on the event day. The aim is to show the world that such large-scale events need not produce huge and harmful waste for the environment. We can each adopt little measures consciously for the greener and better environment, they added.
