Thursday, April 19, Bangaloreans will "play" at night. Don't go looking for nocturnal ideas, it's the world's first midnight marathon we are talking about. Crossover Sports Private Limited, in association with the Rotary Club IT Corridor, will host this eye-catching event.

According to M. Darshan, Director, Crossover Sports Pvt Ltd, the charitable run is expected to draw thousands of Bangaloreans. As he put it, Bangalore was known as a 24/7 city and Bangaloreans for working at night. Now, this event will offer an opportunity to play at night. The marathon will also see participation from folk artists, musicians, fire-eaters and cheerleaders. According to the organizers, running at night is actually a good idea because the ideal temperature to run is 12 to 15 degrees Celsius, there will be less air and noise pollution.
