Pune Marathon is about inclusivity and promoting good health: Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

PUNE: (Dec 13) Jamaican sprint legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce on Saturday asserted that the Bajaj Pune Marathon is about inclusivity and promoting good health while underlining a 31 per cent rise in the number of female runners.

The sixth edition of the Pune Marathon will be held on Sunday with Fraser-Pryce as the brand ambassador along with American sprinter Noah Lyles.

“You talk about speed when you talk about running a hundred meters, but then a marathon is about endurance and really having a strategy. The marathon is about inclusivity and promoting good health and just showing the Indian population that they too can fly,” Fraser-Pryce told PTI here.
