To mark the 8th March 2020, the world international Women’s Day, the 4 Sisters and around 80 young girls of our Maria Vihar Youth Centre, Nashik participated in the Nirbhaya Marathon, organised by Nashik Police. Around 5700 women and a thousand Nashikites ran giving messages of women safety.
Enthusiasts were present in large numbers at Thakkars’s Dome since the wee hours. There were various groups of runners 21km and 10km and 5km and 3km.
Sisters and girls were part of 5km and few girls in 3km. Marathi actors Jitendra Joshi and Virrat Madke flagged 5km while from Movie ‘Sairat’ actress ‘Archi’ Rinku Rajguru flagged off 3-km Marathon.
