July 21, 2010 - Mumbai, India.



EventAvenue is happy to announce that it has been chosen by Procam International, organizers of the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon to power the paid online registrations for the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon 2011.

Every year in January, the city stands still for a few hours as people from all walks of life – business tycoons, movie stars, TV celebrities, sporting personalities, the physically challenged, senior citizens and others run to support worthy causes such as educating the poor, aiding the sick and marginalized and much more. The Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon was first organized in 2004 and since then, it has steadily grown in size and reputation. Today, the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon is amongst the top 10 marathons in the world.

This year, whether you are a professional athlete registering to run the marathon or an individual participating in the dream run or an organization taking part in the corporate challenge, registering to run is simpler than saying 1, 2, 3. Runners no longer have to head to the nearest Standard Chartered or affiliate branch to collect forms, fill forms with a photograph and pay the registration fee. Procam International, organizers of the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon 2011 have signed up with EventAvenue to take the registration process to the participant’s desktop. Runners can simply log on to the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon 2011 website to register and pay. An additional benefit of signing up with EventAvenue is the diverse range of payment options it brings to the table. Indian runners from all walks of life will be able to successfully register and pay using their credit cards, debit cards, net banking accounts, cash cards or even their mobile phones.
