Venkat Marathons to Fitness

Professor S Venkat writes …

“Dear Sagar,

I’m happy to inform that I have completed the Vedanta half marathon today, my 10th successful half marathon!

The final medal is what everyone sees. What one doesn’t see is the months of hardwork, determination, consistency and focus that it takes to be able to successfully finish a half marathon to get the medal.

Running for me is therapeutic, a means to keep my physical and mental well-being in check. I challenge myself to a half marathon every year to check my levels of fitness, you could say that I use this run as an annual health check up!

This is a testament to the compounding power of consistency and I want everyone in my network to pledge today to put their health first and make physical activity a part of their everyday lifestyle.”

About Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon

”The Delhi Half Marathon — established in 2005 by promoters Procam International, a year after the successful launch of the path-breaking Mumbai Marathon — typifies the unique impact of mass-participation sports. The celebrated World Athletics Elite Label Road Race has grown into one of the top half marathons in the globe — Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge, arguably the greatest marathoner ever, won it in 2016 — but the impact of its success is not solely restricted to turning distance running into a rage in the country. It is widely acknowledged that the Delhi Half Marathon served as a catalyst for transformation — inspiring women in the nation’s capital to take up road running, millions of people in northern India to adopt a healthier lifestyle, or rekindling the giving spirit. The Delhi Half Marathon has cemented itself as one of India’s largest sporting philanthropy platforms, having raised over INR 77 crore for 280 Civil Society Organisations since its inception. It has inspired and impacted millions of lives while supporting a wide range of causes.The AIMS-certified race is staged on what is widely regarded as one of the fastest courses in the world, with an impressive six and five times in the men’s and women’s categories respectively among the top 100 of all time. The Delhi Half Marathon, traditionally held on the third Sunday of October, has assembled some of the biggest names from the world of distance running over 16 editions, while also being a springboard for Indian athletes who get to compete with the best.” For More Information: https://delhihalfmarathon.procam.in/
