Ongoing construction work has entailed route changes in the half-marathon and there will be slightly narrower roads on stretches for the full marathoners, too, at the Tata Mumbai Marathon (TMM) to be run on Sunday, January 15.
Officials and organisers spoke at a conference on Wednesday evening at the Mumbai Marathi Patrakar Sangh at Azad Maidan, SoBo, of several challenges ongoing work brings.
