Many thanks to all the event organizers...volunteers...the Visitor Centre team...t-shirt designers...massage therapists...runners from all over the world...folks who rolled out of bed on an early Sunday morning to cheer...and all others who made this year's marathon such a tremendous success.
It really felt like the best yet, and only getting better...
Thank you to Chandresh, Fred, Balaji and all the members of the team who did such a great job in organising the Auroville Marathon 2012, a memorable event indeed.
Thank you, Arnout, for coming to La Ferme Cheese in the evening hours after a busy working day, just a few hours after being called because our AC system had collapsed. You even went to Pondy the same evening to get some spare parts and got it all working again, much to our happiness and our surprise! Thank you for this true spirit of service!
Thank you Toine for mobilizing the resources and working out plans and going from pole to pole. And Suhasini for putting your projects on hold and doing the one thing that mattered most at the moment - getting the regional authorities to act. And many others who tirelessly worked long hours against immense pressure and against all odds - You may not be known, but your efforts have deeply touched all of us.
