Easily accessible, the digital showcase virtualises the route of the run right from Start to Finish.
Belson Coutinho, Sr. Vice President Marketing, e-Commerce and Innovations, Jet Airways, said, “Jet Airways is proud to associate with the 15th edition of the Mumbai Marathon for the second time as the official airline partner and enable runners around the world to participate in this iconic event. This year assumes a greater significance as Jet Airways reaches a momentous milestone of 25 years of service in the Indian skies. The Mumbai Marathon truly symbolises Jet Airways’ pervading spirit of camaraderie and family bonding as well as the relentless efforts of its employees to constantly innovate and push the boundaries of service excellence. It is also a fitting tribute to the city of Mumbai’s spirit that espouses hope, inspiration and a can-do attitude.”

With each passing year the Jet Airways’ Marathon track view has become more user-friendly for runners. The digital route showcases the entire course from start to finish, familiarising them with the route and helping them to keep pace. With just two days left for the Tata Mumbai marathon, this digital route will be very handy for runners and we wish them an exciting race day morning. God bless and God speed.”
