Pune Chapter — Loop 1

Loop 1 is in, 42 still on course. Bib 16 (babumoshaii) answered the bell for the last time. Race official Abhinav had to go and find him almost 4 km away; he is safe, and with the rescue team. Tightest return: Bib 408 (Pruthvij), 3 min 26 sec to spare; the loop’s calmest belonged to Bib 404 (Sourabh Jain), a new face worth watching. At the flag-off: Digvijay Jede, founder of SRT Ultra and the Western Ghats Running Foundation, backing the format through Canyon Sandals.
