India, Jan. 15 -- Over 350 citizens, runners and environmental activists will take to the streets at the upcoming Tata Mumbai Marathon to raise alarm over construction and other leniencies proposed in the draft eco-sensitive zone (ESZ) masterplan of Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

The collective effort, anchored by Muse Foundation, includes participants across race categories, from the full 42 km and half marathon to the 5 km dream run. Apart from runners, a large cheering squad made up of non-runners will be stationed at multiple points along the route from 5am onwards, holding placards and engaging spectators in conversations on the environmental implications of the draft ESZ plan.
