The Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon, for long touted as among the top ten marathons in the world, has been honoured by the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) with the prestigious Gold Label for the year 2010. In 2009, the event was a Silver Label race. With this honour, the event joins the elite group of 12 other full marathons around the world which possess this label, the pinnacle of organisational excellence that all road race promoters aspire for.
Also being awarded the IAAF Gold Label for 2010 is the Sunfeast World 10K Bangalore, which, along with the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon makes it three out of three for India, a rare honour for the country. No other country in Asia can boast of having three IAAF ‘Gold Label’ events, while India shares this honour with USA, which has three ‘Gold Label’ marathons, and is one behind UK, which boasts of four ‘Gold Label’ events, one among them a marathon.
