Pune joggler eyes Procam Slam at TCS World 10K in Bengaluru

Bengaluru, Apr 21 (UNI) With over 30,000 participants expected to take part in the TCS World 10K here on April 27, one runner is set to turn heads — not for his speed, but for his extraordinary athletic act.
Ketan Abhonkar, a mechanical engineer-turned-software professional from Pune and an accomplished endurance runner, will attempt to complete the 10K while juggling three balls — a rare and demanding pursuit known as joggling.
Abhonkar's participation in the Bengaluru race carries added weight, as it marks the final leg of his bid to clinch the coveted Procam Slam — a title awarded to runners who successfully complete all four of India's premier distance races, organised by Procam International, within a single season.
