Bengaluru, India’s IT Capital, has been witnessing this unique Midnight Marathon and citizens have been enthusiastically participating in them, in large numbers. Scores of companies, particularly from the IT, ITES and BT sectors, participate in the Marathon in large numbers for improving their brand visibility and team-building while effectively demonstrating their corporate social responsibility by associating with the city’s issues. A large number of NGOs and their celebrity supporters also participate in the Marathon to raise funds and create awareness of their cause.

It is no coincidence that Bengaluru has achieved this hallowed distinction of being called the ‘Knowledge Capital’ of the new flat world. It is the hard work, perseverance and tenacity of our young workforce who work day & night, round the clock to keep our economy growing. They toil while we sleep. They make all us Bangalorean’s proud.

Midnight Marathon – A tribute to our youth: It is to show that Bangalore cares & appreciates their hard work.
