The much-anticipated 4th Edition of Jupiter Marathon Thane'25 is all set to take place on January 5 in 2025. It will start at 5:30 am from Singhania School on Pokhran Road No. 1, J.K. Gram in Thane West. The marathon will have three distance categories - 5000 m, 10 km and 21 km. Participants can register through ticketing platforms. Organised by Jupiter Hospital, this annual event brings together marathoners and fitness enthusiasts to run for a greater purpose - raising awareness about the life-saving importance of organ donation.
This year's marathon will feature a diverse group of participants, including prominent figures from Mumbai and Thane, medical professionals, members of the armed forces, police and fire officers, as well as school students and community leaders. By coming together, they aim to shed light on critical topics such as organ pledging, brain death awareness, and the urgent need for organ donations to save lives.
The marathon serves as an inspiring platform to engage the community and emphasise the importance of organ donation while celebrating the spirit of health and fitness.
Dr. Ajay. P. Thakker, chairman and managing director of Jupiter Hospitals shares, "At Jupiter Hospital, we believe in going beyond healthcare by inspiring positive change in our community. The Jupiter Marathon Thane'25 is not just a race; it's a movement to raise awareness about the life-saving impact of organ donation. Through initiatives like 'My Organ Project,' we aim to educate and empower people to make a pledge that can give someone else a second chance at life. Together, let's run for health, hope, and humanity."
