India’s New Full: Pune Marathon
Devesh Khatu participated in the Bajaj Pune Marathon held on December 14 at Pune University, marking the first year the event included a full marathon. Despite a somewhat monotonous course consisting of out-and-back loops on a closed busy road, the organization was commendable. Approximately 15,000 runners took part in various categories, from 5K to the full marathon. This event marked Khatu’s 162nd marathon overall and his 11th in 2025.
