This is dedicated to the coaches or teachers who have touched and changed your life through Sports, to be a fit citizen of FIT INDIA. So come let’s run for your health and contribute towards FIT INDIA Movement.
What is virtual marathon?
A new trend in the running community. Runners who sign up for a virtual race register online and simply choose their starting line, whether it’s a treadmill or a neighbourhood street. They run the race distance, upload their finishing time and a few days later are mailed an E Certificate. It may seem strange to traditional runners, but the virtual race is a great option for those who want convenience.
