Mumbai is gearing up for marathon on January 18. 26/11 terror attack has intensified the feelings of Mumbaikars to stand united against the terrorists.

The organisers announced the event details in a press conference at the Trident hotel, which reopened on Sunday after being targeted by terrorists on November 26.

The slogan of the event has been changed from 'Run Mumbai Run' to 'Mumbai runs to secure its future'. 3, 60,000 people have already registered for the race.

Bollywood actor John Abraham is the brand ambassador for the 2009 race. Deputy Chief Minister Chhaggan Bhujbal, Indian Olympic Association President Suresh Kalmadi and the Commissioner of police were also present at the press conference.

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 added that it's an apt tribute to the victims.
