Shillong, Jan 22: Meghalaya runners had another successful Mumbai Marathon on Sunday, with Tlanding Wahlang finishing first in the men’s 40-44 age group, according to results published on the race’s official website.
Tlanding Wahlang, who is the recipient of the Kiang Nangbah Award for sports this year, finished with a time of 2 hours, 39 minutes and 9 seconds, which was more than one minute faster than his 2019 time at the same event.
