Post
|January 21, 2026
DURBAN’S Roshun Sunker completed his second Tata Mumbai Marathon in 5 hours and 50 minutes, improving on his previous time and revelling in the unique atmosphere of what he calls his “happy place”.
The veteran runner was among 14 000 participants in the 21st edition of the Mumbai Marathon (42.195km) — a World Athletics Gold Label Race; and one of Asia’s premier running events.
The 57-year-old flooring contractor from Effingham, Durban, finished the grueling 42.195km race with a time of 5:50:37.
Sunker, a member of the Durban Athletic Club, said this was his second Tata Mumbai Marathon - the first being in 2024.
“I completed that race in six hours and 11 minutes,” said Sunker, who travelled to Mumbai with nine South African runners.
