The Tata Group is the new title sponsor of ‘Mumbai Marathon’, one of the top 10 marathons in the world. From 2018, the event will be called ‘Tata Mumbai Marathon’ and its 15th edition is scheduled for January 21, next year.

The Tata Mumbai Marathon will be jointly sponsored by the Tata Group and group firm Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) for 10 years beginning 2018, which is the 150th anniversary year of the group and 50th of TCS.

“Events like the marathon promote values like grit, tenacity, excellence, perseverance, belief, commitment and passion that have been a key part of the Tata group's ethos since its inception, almost 150 years ago,” Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran said.

“Partnering with India’s premier long-distance running event is a great way for the Tata group to increase our engagement with the community, raise funds for charity as well as create societal awareness about the necessity of good health and fitness. As a marathoner, I’m personally proud to support this partnership,” he added.
