NEW DELHI, May 14, 2010: The Athletics Federation of India has not sanctioned permission to Procam International to conduct the Sunfeast 10km International Run in Bangalore on May 23, 2010 as the organisers had not followed AFI procedures.
Any AFI affiliated unit, Boards, Clubs, athletes and officials taking part or associating themselves in any manner with the event will be liable to face disciplinary action, including suspension, as provided for in the AFI constitution.
At the AFI annual general meeting in Manesar on February 12 and 13 where it was unanimously decided that AFI would streamline road running in the country. Concern was expressed about India’s best distance runners being affected by road running, especially in the year of the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games.
It is surprising that Procam International, whose representative was present at the AFI annual general meeting in Manesar, should go ahead and attempt to organise the event despite not having AFI’s permission to conduct it.
AFI reiterates that its annual calendar has been drawn up carefully against the backdrop of the preparation of the athletes for the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games.
