Message from Dr Amit:
Merry Christmas and a very Happy
New Year to all of you. I would like to
thank you for supporting and
providing sponsorship for Tanjore
Marathon 2014. Your support has
been instrumental in our quest to
promote running as a sport in
Thanjavur region.
The Founders of ProHEALTH
Foundation have conducted 4
events in Thanjavur geography
during a period of last one year. We
have learned a lot during the
process and tried to understand
what best we can do promote the
sport and Thanjavur as running
destination in coming year. Apart
from that we want to promote
active lifestyles for all age groups in
the region. As you know Tamilnadu
has high burden of chronic diseases
like diabetes and hypertension, so its
important we spread awareness
among everyone to be active and
especially spread awareness among
children at an early age.
We have just started our journey and
there are many more thing to be
done. We look forward to your
support in future.

Special Mentions
An event of this magnitude needs the community leaders
as partners on the ground, below are some partners
without whom the logistics around the event would not
have been possible.
- Periyar Maniammai University for extending their
campus to support the event and more importantly
the flexibility extended to change location to the
‘Multipurpose Indoor Stadium’.

arrangements
- NCC & NSS support for traffic management during
the event

management activity.
“I think in this way you will help make
a difference to lots of people in a
country where sports facilities and
exercise consciousness are still so
limited, perhaps especially in smaller
towns.”
