An international marathon is held in the city in December

The excitement of running has increased this time. East India's largest participatory sports celebration, Tata Steel 25K Kolkata, has come in a new form as Tata Steel World 25K Kolkata. This race has achieved the Gold level of World Athletics this time, which is a great achievement. The race, which started in 2014, has gradually crossed the Bronze and Silver levels and has now reached the Gold level. The race will be held on December 15 and will be the first 25 km gold level race in the world. And this race is also known as the richest 25 km race in the world. The total prize money in Indian currency is around 12 crore rupees. Tollywood actress Kaushani Mukherjee was also present on the occasion along with Tata Steel executives. Kaushani has been working as the campaign face of the race since last year. He said, 'I am a huge fitness freak. Even if you can't go to the gym regularly, you can't miss a run. I run regularly. I run on an empty stomach in the morning. You can say that this is my path of transformation. In this situation in the city of Kolkata, as a girl myself, it feels good to see other girls running on the streets.' The race will have total five categories: 25 km, open 10 km, fun run (about 4.5 km), senior citizens' race and specially abled race. Registration for this race can be done from September 19 to November 22.
