    • This event is organized by SATARA RUNNERS FOUNDATION, a Not for Profit organization, the members of which are local runners from the Satara running community. These are people who do this as a passion on a voluntary basis, while balancing their regular jobs as Doctors, Lawyers, Architects, Engineers,Teachers, Businessmen, Entrepreuners, Shopkeepers, Housemakers, Students and so on. As of now, the Satara local running community is a relatively small and slowly growing group and we are making efforts to increase awareness about the marvelous world of running and its benefits among the local community. We are facing an uphill task in convincing the people in our predominantly rural area, to register for a run by PAYING MONEY. We are still asked why one should pay money to run. Some people go to the extent of saying that THEY should be paid for running !!! There are a few people who even doubt and question our motive behind organising such a wonderful event. But we march ahead because we know that we are doing a good job. This discount to local runners has always been there in our event. The 3000 seat quota for Outstation runners is usually sold out in less than 24 hours of the start of registration. Outstation runners face challenges in finding suitable accommodation due to relative paucity of hotels in Satara. They take all these efforts to travel to Satara & participate in their beloved event. Local runners have no such travel and stay issues. Yet , the speed and interest for registration from local Satara runners is much slower in comparison. It is no mean task to organize an event of this scale without raising the necessary funds. The entire money that comes from registration goes into organizing the event and all profits are ploughed back into making the event better from year to year. We also have invested in several local initiatives to promote a healthy life style in the Local community. It’s not that outstation runners are being over charged. They know and believe that the overall experience is worth the registration fees being charged . It’s the locals who are being offered a substantial discount , to motivate them to register in increasing numbers. So, when you register as an Outstation runner , you can feel proud and happy for having promoted and helped the development of the sport in our local community.
