Let us run with the music….it will be a great pleasure boosting up the mood and mind…be relaxed...remove your anxiety FOREVER!!!

                   We, the Fitness Team is going to organize for the first time in the world “MUSICATHON”…… (Musical Marathon)

                                       Fitness Team of Guwahati has been in the forefront of promoting physical fitness among the natives of this Capital city of Assam. The team has always been on its mission to promote the fitness aspects of health to be accomplished through physical exercise and sports. Needless to say, for a beginner, the drudgery and monotony associated with physical exercises (including brisk walk, jogging and running) appear to be insurmountable blocks before they can reap the immense benefits of physical exercises. In this endeavour to make Sports and Health popular among the public at large, the Team has off late been engaging in a search for ways and means to make physical exercises more appealing to the populace of this Capital City. In this process, the Team discovered the role Music can play in overcoming the drudgery and monotony of physical exercises. Music is the food for Soul. Besides, Music soothes a weary mind and a tired body too.

The Team, with a novel idea of twining Music with Exercise, wishes to organize The MUSICATHON (A Musical Marathon) in Guwahati on 10th December 2017. MUSICATHON would be a RUN with the accompaniment of MUSIC. The MUSICATHON, starting from Khanapara Playground and charting its course through selected lanes of Guwahati, would be the first of its kind in the world -- unheard and unseen in the annals of known and recorded history. The Marathon, when conducted, would be the manifestation of a wonderful pioneering idea.

MUSICATHON,  besides making physical exercises appealing, it has an added objective of showcasing the cultural ethos of Assam. Towards this end, an Ethnic Run, involving people from all sections of society (including Tribes) in Traditional Dresses, is proposed to supplement the patriotic songs to be played during the RUN. This would encourage and generate interest in people, particularly Women and Senior citizens in North East, towards Sports and Health.

The Capital City of Guwahati is home to Bengali, Marwari, Punjabi and Muslim families besides the native Assamese and has set itself as an example for harmonious co-existence of all communities which would be solicited to give a rich experience of running to the tunes of Dhol, Pepa and Taal.

Our Motto in organizing MUSICATHON is to give the people of Guwahati a memorable and an enjoyable RUN and through it give them the ways and means of making physical exercises pleasurable and enjoyable with the support of Music to boost up their mood and their Mind, to be relieved of their anxiety and to remain relaxed forever.

It will also encourage and promote the North East Women towards sports and good health.

 

“Let’s Tone UP by Tuning Up”

Few of the medical benefits is mentioned below to have the awareness of the musical marathon.   

          Musical run is capable of a number of health benefits including lowering stress levels, relieve from anxiety, creating a restful and beautiful sleep, lowering blood pressure, strengthens the heart and improves the recovery time of the patients who are suffering from heart disease. Even a moderate 3 km run has been proved to be beneficial for old aged people as it enhances a healthy brain which exercises the brain to prepare itself for a better memory and mental sharpness as they age. Old aged people with partial brain damage are also benefited in a small distance musical runs as it makes them confident too.

          Listening to music while running hits you in a special way causing your brain to release Dopamine, which is known as a feel-good chemical. It causes us to feel emotions like happiness, joy and excitement etc. It is also found to be helpful in eradicating depression and can have a positive effect on the mood, psyche, pain and quality of life as well. Finally, it is found to be reducing the levels of stress hormone Cortisol, which is responsible for weakening the immune system and lowering bone density. Thus about 30 minutes of musical run uplifts the level of antibodies in the human body. In rare cases, the musical run also is useful as a complementary treatment to people with cancer.

Very recently we have successfully organized the “Green Highway Run” under National Highway Authority of India on the eve of “Swachhata Pakhawada”, a cleanliness drive of Government of India, at Jagiroad.

A brief description of the Musical Marathon:

The event MUSICATHON will begin with Flag Hoisting followed by the singing of the National Anthem. As a symbol of our patriotism, the National Flag will be hosted throughout the Marathon area.

The actual Marathon will begin with a Motorcycle Rally with the motorcyclists carrying the National Flag. This will be followed by the 10 km and 5 km RUNS with the accompaniment of patriotic songs, all along. The RUNS will find participation by young Men and Women. Special RUNS will have Senior Citizens.

The next in line would be “Ethnic Run” symbolizing the Harmony and Peace among the people belonging to different communities, particularly in Assam.

The conclusion would see traditional Bihu dance performance, with patriotic songs in the background. A dance floor has been arranged specifically for this purpose. Finally, there will be a speech by Guest of Honour and prize distribution.
