It is always a fantastic event with tremendous energy and a great atmosphere. Running here is a joy, given the enthusiasm for fitness among the people.”

While I was running, I noticed many people cheering me on, even though they didn’t know me. This is a culture that is developing across the country, and I am happy that India is undergoing such a fitness cultural shift, which is essential today. I am excited to be part of this journey and look forward to participating in more races.”
