Mumbai, Dec 23: The much awaited Mumbai Marathon, which is to be run on January 18 next year, has now got a new catchphrase. In the wake of Mumbai terror strike, the slogan of the event, which was previously `Run Mumbai Run`, is now, `Mumbai runs to secure its future`. Bollywood actor John Abraham, the brand ambassador for the 2009 race, says that he considers his role as a huge honour and promises to take it very seriously. In a press conference held at the Trident recently, John said, “The 26/11 redefined for me what the marathon is all about, as taking on the terrorists in those days was a marathon of courage. Now, if we all can run together, there is nothing and nobody that can pull us apart." John, a role model for many on the fitness front, says that he loves the training and the challenge of how far he can stretch himself. With such a courageous and enthusiastic brand ambassador, it seems that the marathon will surely be a huge encouragement for all the Mumbaikars.
