In-form Tamsi Singh to lead Indian Elite Women’s Field
9 December 2023: A strong Indian Elite field led by Asian Games Silver-Medallist Kartik Kumar and Olympian & former Asian Marathon Champion Gopi Thonakal along with the in-form Tamsi Singh will challenge an exciting international line-up in what promises to be an enthralling action at the much-awaited 2023 Tata Steel Kolkata 25K to be held on Sunday, December 17.
#AamarKolkataAamarRun will witness some of India’s best athletes take centre stage at the eighth edition of the US $100,000 prize money race. With equal prize money for the Indian Elite men and women winners, the first three in each race stand to win 2,75,000, 2,00,000 and 1,50,000/- respectively.
The Indian Elite men and women runners will also be further incentivised by an Event Record Bonus of 1,00,000/- each.
Long-distance runner Kartik, who bagged silver in the men’s 10,000m race at the 2022 Asian Games, will be the one to watch out for in the Indian Elite Men’s race. By achieving this feat at the Asian Games, the 24-year-old became the first Indian to win a medal in the 10,000m event, since Gulab Chand in 1998.
