Last week I came to know about "Thane Mayor Varsha Marathon 2017". I registered for the marathon without finding any more about location details because I knew this will be my 5th 10K Marathon and I don't want to miss it. I asked some of my friends also to register for it. Yesterday when I went for collecting Bib number, then I realized that the event location is little far from my home and that also start time was 6 am for the Marathon.
I came back home and started finding how should I reach there ?, which train should I catch ?, etc so that I should not miss my marathon. I found and came to know even if I catch the very 1st train (3.46 am) starting from my home station, then too I will reach late for Marathon. So I thought let it be, I can attend any another Marathon next time but...when I spoke to my friend Vivek (who met me during last Marathon), he informed that 6 am is not our reporting time, that is for 21K and for 10K it is 6.20 am. After this, I decided to go and planned accordingly for my 5th 10K Marathon Run.

Start Line for 10K Marathon |
Marathon Day :-
I left home and caught 3.46 am train from home station, after that caught another train and reached at venue railway station but this was not done, finally took auto from there to reach at start point for 10K Marathon. Thank God I reached before time, and marathon started at 6.20 am. My target was to complete marathon within 1 hour. Accordingly I ran, it rained for sometime but that didn't stop my pace. I never stopped in between, only reduced my pace to keep running. Finally Finish line was visible to me, so I increased my pace to save some time and crossed the finish line. I thought this time I have completed within 1 hour but I got a message like this:-
Congratulations VIJAY MUKHIYA (BIB: 1472), You have successfully completed 28th Thane Mayor Varsha Marathon 2017 with a net time of 1:06:09 for 10K Run- Results by rpsports.co.in .
Everyone got medal and refreshment after crossing finish line, I was one of them. I did some post run stretching and had some refreshment snacks, then captured some pictures to save memories. This way my 5th 10K marathon became memorable for me and had an wonderful experience in this 10K Marathon Run.
