Maruti Suzuki Arena Devils Circuit Finale kicks off virtually
The participants have three days to complete the run.
The grand finale of Maruti Suzuki Arena Devils Circuit 2019-20 kicked off with a four-hour Facebook live which saw participants engage with the tribe leader Adnan Adeeb, Instagram influencer Sunanda Wong, and celebrity guest Chitrangda Singh.
During this period, viewers interacted with the hosts and guest, participated in online contests to win themselves cool hampers and were witness to some incredible stories of swift devil slayers who defied incredible odds to come out victorious. Be it personal fitness battles, overcoming life-threatening diseases, life-changing accidents, or inspiring others; the swift devil slayers brought it all to the four hour live.
The 5kms /15 obstacles format that the property has owned since inception was given a twist for the digital version. Over 10,000 participants who had registered were asked to run the 5kms from wherever they and were also sent a list of 15 functional challenges to finish in lieu of the obstacles.
The participants have three days during which they can complete this run and upload their timing & other requisite detail onto the devils circuit website.
Reflecting on her maiden experience at the Maruti Suzuki Arena Devils Circuit, celebrity guest Chitrangada Singh, said, "It was an extremely humbling experience for me to be a part of this event. Having heard the incredible stories of the participants first hand, I am truly inspired to keep pushing myself beyond my limits. I am very glad that I got the opportunity to encourage the swift devil slayers to slay the finale of the 2019-2020 edition. In future, I too hope to get a chance to slay the devil and be a part of this amazing tribe."
One of the three categories of participation in the Legends Cup. A tough competition for the fittest athletes, this category sees participants compete in all the races of the season and compete with each other to get maximum podium finishes. Apart from the city-specific prizes, the top male & female winners of the season also get a Maruti Suzuki Swift each, making this the most valuable prize in amateur sports in the country.
This season saw Lucas Kempe from Berlin and last seasons winner Diksha Kapoor from Jammu be crowned the winners of the Legends Cup. Both were elated with their wins, and with being invited by Maruti Suzuki India Limited to claim their brand new car.
