Participants walked the 5.2 kilometres with much enthusiasm and gusto.Speaking about the event Rajesh Varghese, President, MAD Bangalore said, “We are extremely happy and proud with the huge success of the event. I take this opportunity to thank all the participants and the organisers who have put in their efforts to make this a big hit.”Talking about the event, Dheeraja Arora who handles Corporate Relations for MAD’s Bangalore chapter seemed quite satisfiedwith the turn-out. “It was a very big task for us, It required intensive planning over the past three months.
