After team Run with Roshni another Indian Gorkha, Arjun Pradhan, from the Army Sports Institute, Pune, has finished 2nd amongst the Indian competitors at the recently concluded Mumbai Marathon.
Running his full Marathon for the 1st time, Hav. Arjun Pradhan was the 2nd fastest Indian (12th overall) to cross the finishing line with a time of 2:22:22. He was leading the entire race, but inexperience showed at the last leg, and that is when reigning Indian champion Hav. Karan Singh took over and finished 1st with a time of 2:21:35, while Mr. Bahadur Singh Dhoni (2:22:41) finished 3rd.
It is remarkable that both Hav. Karan Singh and Hav. Arjun Pradhan practice together and are team mates from the Army Sports Institute.
It has been declared that these champions will be sponsored by TCS to participate in the TCS New York City Marathon in November this year. Those in New York may wanna be there to cheer our two heros.
