Rambhia said, deciding to do a 74kms run is one thing. Actually doing it is another thing altogether. Doing it single handedly is not possible at all. A lot of planning has gone into making it successful. His team of Adventures and You and SVAA handled all the back end support, his friends of runners who supported by joining him enroute and running for a couple of kilometers with him, encouragement by his group of friends played a very important role in achieving the target.
Mitesh is grateful to his team from Adventures And You, Smita Khare, Amit Deshmukh, his Coach Sunil Kapgate of Jai Athletics Club, his running buddies, SVAA and the management of Saraswati Vidyalaya for supporting him during the run.
