MUMBAI: Tata Mumbai Marathon recently launched its “Inspire to be Better” integrated campaign ahead of its 2019 event. The campaign is designed to value the inspiring stories of people from all walks of life and to recognise those who inspired them to be better.

The campaign that will be featuring real people with their inspiring stories has been kickstarted by event ambassador for Tata Mumbai Marathon 2019, MC Mary Kom, who wrote a letter to her husband, Onler Karong, thanking him for the inspiration he has been to her. The other two stories are of Meera Mehta, one of the young fund-raisers and one of the first ones to raise funds at TMM; and Krishna Prakash IPS, super cop, an avid runner, and the first Indian civil servant to complete the gruelling Ultraman World Championships.

As a closure to the print campaign, the event is also running a contest and requesting individuals to share their inspirational stories and one meaningful story will be featured in The Times of India Front Page Ad.

Procam International joint managing director Vivek B Singh said, “We are proud to launch the innovative 'Inspire to be Better' campaign leading up to the 16th edition of the prestigious Tata Mumbai Marathon. While a record number of runners participate on race day to gain glory, there are millions more who are part of the event in various avatars. This campaign will evoke a sense of pride amongst all those who have in their own unique way inspired to be better.”

In addition to the campaign, the #BeBetter gratitude ground activation will also be conducted simultaneously in various offices, city spots, running community and the event expo.
