Penav Mota Prepares for Mumbai Marathon 2026

Penav Mota is a very determined person.

He lost his eyesight when he was 15, but that didn't stop him from loving sports.

At first, his parents were worried and encouraged him to play chess instead of outdoor games.

After he lost his vision completely, he couldn't play chess anymore.

That's when he found running.

He has run many half and full marathons and is now preparing for the Mumbai Marathon in 2026.

He is also a criminal lawyer and manages his work and training by setting fixed timings.

His parents and guide runners support him a lot.

He has big dreams for the future, like competing in the Olympic triathlon and the Iron Man.

He wants to inspire others with his story.
