Mutual Mobile participates every year in the Hyderabad 10k. I happened to be in town for this event, so naturally, I ran with the team! The running path is along the Necklace Road, which surrounds the Hussain Sagar Lake in the city center. The event was reminiscent of the Mardi Gras Marathon in New Orleans because they had a stage with live music at every kilometer marker. The music ranged from traditional to rock to school choirs. I ran the whole 10k, but only 1km at a time, then I would listen to the music for a while and run to the next stage. I couldn’t help myself!

The VIP at the starting line was renowned Indian track Olympian, Milkha Singh.
