The Mayor appreciated the support provided by the people and businesses of Kulhudhuffushi and Thiladhunmathi Atoll. “It is a moment of pride for us,” he said, “as the entire event from event management and coordination to entertainment was led by the talented members of our ‘Bodu Thiladhunmathi’ community.”
Despite the rainy weather, many people from outside the island made the journey in private launches and RTL ferries to participate in the run. Mayor Athif expressed satisfaction with the turnout, but noted that more people would have come from the region had the weather been better.
