K Venketraman Touches the Finishing Line at Wipro Chennai Marathon

The Wipro Chennai Marathon is a premier running event in the city of Chennai organised by Chennai Runners and Wipro Technologies.  Last years’ edition TWCM 2012 brought over 6000 runners from all over the country and world participating in 3 different categories (Full Marathon, Half Marathon and 10 KM Run).

Two of the TAFEites, Venketaraman (HRD – R&D) and Balaji (Hydraulics – R&D) were there to prove their might. Balaji was there for the event directly after an official Madurai tour and made it to the finishing line along with Venketaraman within the stipulated time.  Both of them have made us proud by touching the finishing line of the Half Marathon. From the day TWCM 2013 was announced, Venketaraman has remained focused. He was practising it for the last 8 weeks to achieve this feat. Congratulations to Venketaraman and Balaji for their achievement.

Let’s hope we have a few more entries for the TWCM 2014. For the benefit of new entrants a training manual is available for download by clicking the link.
