<p>The 39-year-old actor laid stress on people making small efforts as he stated, "You can make a difference in your own house, by switching the lights off, not leaving the tap on. These are common things but a lot of us forget to do that. Save water, save power, save the environment."</p>

<p>Tiger also shared a message for people who didn't attend the marathon as he stated people should invest at least half an hour on the physical activity instead of being engrossed in their mobile phones.</p>

<p>He said, "People who are engrossed in mobile phones, should invest even if it's half an hour to invest some sort of activity whether it be indoor or outdoor. Our bodies are meant to move so keep moving."&nbsp;</p>

Actor Tiger Shroff addressed environmental issues including environmental degradation and climate change as he participated in the ongoing 17th edition of the Tata Mumbai Marathon on Sunday. While talking about the motive behind running the marathon, the 'Heropanti' actor said, "My cause is the most immediate threat to the environment, climate change has been rampant. Whatever we can do for the environment, we must...we should do our bit by planting trees''. View this post on Instagram @tigerjackieshroff in da house! 😎 #TMM2020 #BeBetter A post shared by Tata Mumbai Marathon (@tatamummarathon) on Jan 18, 2020 at 7:14pm PST × The 39-year-old actor laid stress on people making small efforts as he stated, "You can make a difference in your own house, by switching the lights off, not leaving the tap on. These are common things but a lot of us forget to do that. Save water, save power, save the environment." Tiger also shared a message for people who didn't attend the marathon as he stated people should invest at least half an hour on the physical activity instead of being engrossed in their mobile phones. He said, "People who are engrossed in mobile phones, should invest even if it's half an hour to invest some sort of activity whether it be indoor or outdoor. Our bodies are meant to move so keep moving." View this post on Instagram Nothing is out of your reach when you really want it.

15th edition of Mumbai Marathon begins

<p>The elite women runners of the Tata Mumbai Marathon today slammed the event organisers, saying there were too many casual runners on the course and that the Metro construction work was also a hindrance.</p>

<p>&quot;It was a quite difficult race as there were a lot of people (casual participants in other non-competitive events) on the road. It was difficult to concentrate,&quot; said women&#39;s race winner Amane Gobena of Ethiopia at the post-event media conference.</p>

<p>Gobena finished first in 2:25:49 and was well ahead of defending champion Bornes Kitur of Kenya who clocked 2:28:48 to finish second.</p>

<p>She said she missed receiving water thrice the 5, 15 and 30 km marks.</p>

<p>Gobena said she knew that despite the hazards she will win the race just past the halfway mark after taking a clear lead.</p>

<p>&quot;(Metro) construction work was a problem. The last km was difficult as there were a lot of corners,&quot; said the Kenyan runner.</p>

<p>Joshua Kipkorir of Kenya, who finished third in the men&#39;s race, criticised the pacemakers for dropping out earlier than expected.</p>

<p>&quot;One pacemaker dropped out at 15km and another at 25km,&quot; he said.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, India&#39;s Asian champion Gopi Thonakal said he was satisfied with his timing (2:16:51) because of the weather conditions.</p>

<p>&quot;It was hot. I am happy with my timing,&quot; said Gopi, who finished 11th overall just ahead of his arch-rival Nitendra Singh Rawat (2:16:54).</p>
