A marathoner guided by sound, not sight

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 17 January 2024
Mohammed Asif Iqbal's viewpoint is clear. The blind man, who is set to run 21km at Tata Mumbai Marathon (TMM) this Sunday, is thankful God gave him the courage to run. "I could've wasted away at home, but the Almighty has been kind... I had never imagined I would be able to run, but here I am..." he says. The Kolkata resident will be flanked by a pair of buddy runners as he hits the ground running blindfolded on Sunday. His running buddies-Mumbai resident Jay Mali and Prakash Singh from Kolkata-will guide Iqbal along the route as they sprint along.
