Students of IIM Kozhikode (IIM-K) today held a 'flash mob' at the beach and Focus Mall in the city as a run up to the sixth Calicut Mini-Marathon 2015 on March 1.
The event was a prelude to this year's SBI Calicut Mini-Marathon in association with the Kerala Network Police and Angel Foundation and the theme is 'Road Safety'- a paramount public health issue that needs to be taken seriously, a press release from IIM-K said.
The high energy flash mob surprised the evening crowd with a group of students from IIM-K huddled together for the performance at the beach. They then went on to perform at the Focus Mall as well. A mock drill was also carried out by a team of medical emergency experts from Angel Foundation in support of the 'Road Safety' cause being promoted by the SBI Calicut Marathon.
With Rs two lakh in prize money, the marathon features two categories, a 10 km mini-marathon which is a competitive race and a three km 'Dream Run', a non competitive run featuring people from all walks of life, the release said.
'Flash Mob' means a large public gathering at which people perform an unusual or seemingly random act and then disperse, typically organized by means of the Internet or social media.
