The marathon was flagged off from the Central Revenue Building in Attavara by S. Keshava Narayan Reddy, Commissioner of Central Tax and CGST, Mangaluru. The event aimed to raise awareness of GST's positive impact on the Indian economy and promote fitness and environmental sustainability through cycling. The release said that in addition to the Commissioner, key participants included Additional Commissioner of CGST Vaibhav Kiran Pagare, Assistant Commissioners of CGST and GST and Customs officials, including retired officials. Members of Mangalore Cycle Club, led by its president Anil Shet, and representatives from local trade and industry bodies also attended the event.
