The second edition of the 2020 Bloomberg Square Mile Relay Global Race Series took place here on Saturday with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) winning the race to be named the 'fastest firm in the city'.

Over 500 runners from Mumbai's biggest companies took part in the specially designed one mile (1.6 km) course at the Jio World Garden, BKC. The RBI team clocked one hour, three minutes and 55 seconds to win the race. Nomura finished second followed by IDFC First Bank in the third place.
