• The Beginning:
  • While I have always been somewhat fitness-conscious, I started making running a priority and a lifestyle choice after the Club Run 2024. The year 2026 marks the second year I have been associated with the Hyderabad Runners’ Train and Shine program. I plan to continue with the program because it has kept me injury-free. It has also given me the opportunity to meet some truly incredible individuals.

• Personal Favorites:
  • I really love the vibe of the Club Run organized by Hyderabad Runners. It has an awesome community feel. As long as I am able to, I will continue to participate in the flagship Hyderabad Marathon.

To keep running for as long as I possibly can.

“Hyderabad Runners Society and its various programs throughout the year have been a major reason why I have been able to continue running injury-free. HR is community-first, and it is probably one of the primary reasons why Hyderabad has such a vibrant running culture. Thank you, HR! Whenever I am in another city, I actually say I am from HR with a lot of pride.”

“Lot of run out there. Stay humble”
