Tirtha Pun Wins Vasai Virar Marathon; Nurhasan, Prajakta Are Half-marathon Champs
India Vasai Virar Municipal Corporation: Tirtha Pun of the Gorkha Regiment (Darjeeling) ended defending champion Mohit Rathor’s dreams of a hat-trick of titles by winning the full marathon in the 11th All-India Vasai Virar Municipal Corporation Marathon which concluded in Virar, in the nearby Thane district, on Sunday.
Tirtha Pun completed the race in 2 hours and 21.48 minutes to bag the honours in the event organised by the Vasai Virar City Municipal Corporation and the Vasai Taluka Kala Krida Vikas Mandal.
Rathor, who kept pace with Pun halfway through the 42-km race, began cramping at the 30km stage and fell behind, but he still had enough steam to hold his own and finish second in 2:26.43, nearly five seconds behind the winner.
