ECR 10 - Redeem your pledge!

Long years ago we made a tryst with Chennai Runners, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. On Sunday, July 26, 2009, when Chennai sleeps, We will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when our shoes pop out from the racks to the roads, when an age ends, and when our legs, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to sign for the ECR Run and to the still larger cause of running!!!

The Constitution will be unveiled very soon... Watch this space for further details!
