Wipro sponsors Bengaluru Marathon as part of its fitness push

Wipro announced its sponsorship of the Bengaluru Marathon on May 25. For the next three years, the tech company will be the title sponsor of the marathon.

Kanteerava Stadium will serve as the finish line for the tenth edition of the marathon. It will take place on October 8 this year.

Organizers anticipate that more than 20,000 people will participate in the 'City Run'. Three categories of the marathon will be offered by AIMS - the full marathon 42.195 km, the half marathon 21.1 km, and the 5K Hope Run.

Participants will also be able to participate in three prep runs to promote fitness and help them prepare for the main event.

Wipro Limited's Chief Financial Officer Jatin Dalal said the Bengaluru Marathon is an extension of the company's commitment to creating positive impact.

"We are thrilled to be the title sponsor of the Bengaluru Marathon. Wipro has been hosting its largest employee engagement, ‘Spirit of Wipro’ Run, for 17 years and this marathon is a natural extension of our commitment to create a positive impact on the community. It is a great opportunity to support and encourage people to come together and adopt a healthy lifestyle," Dalal said.
