On the occasion of the 73rd Republic Day, The Fit Bharat organized a 73 min run where anyone from all over the world could participate and be a part of the mission to salute the soldiers and stand up for India.

Here's what Team Fit Bharat has to say about it: 

“At team Fit Bharat, we go for a hill run every Sunday. It was a casual chai pe charcha after our regular Sunday run in this awesome winter morning that we brainstormed into making this Republic Day super special. We decided to run 73 minutes since it was the 73rd Republic Day & involve our fellow Indians in this endeavor to pay a tribute to our soldiers.
We made an appeal on Sunday & within 2 days, the response was so overwhelming. We were shocked that people got in touch with various parts of the country, Kashmir, Rajkot, Hyderabad and even remote villages. They all wanted to run!

We have responses and messages from 10,768 Indians who participated. From kids as young as 6 year olds to adults as old as 91 yr old, from the remotest village to the elitist society, from schools& universities to the NCC cadets, from bankers to our soldiers, from first time runners to ace athletes & sportsmen, from the length, breadth, depth, literally every corner of our Bharat, there was one cause that unified them all : To run in the honor of our Soldiers, To pay homage to this Milestone – the day India got truly free of foreign control.

We are overwhelmed, over excited and deeply humbled by the effort put by one and all. Deeply in gratitude.”

The Mumbai Run at Mahalakshmi Race Course, Mumbai:

People in huge numbers gathered at the Race Course in Mumbai early in the morning at 5:30 AM with the sole purpose to run for free India and pay respect to our soldiers. 357 people ran at The Race Course with the Fit Bharat team and created history. Here are some glimpses of the highly successful Republic Day run:

This year, India will be celebrating its 73^rd Republic day. Due to the spike in Covid-19 cases, there will also be no chief minister who will be gracing the event like last year. However, Fit Bharat has figured out its own way of celebrating Republic Day 2022.

Benefits Of Running This Republic Day

• Running, for starters, increases heart rate, which causes the production of noradrenaline, which improves cognitive performance. Second, running generates endorphins, which help with pain relief, relaxation, mood enhancement, and the eponymous “runner’s high” – which may last for hours after you stop running.
• Not all of us are able to run. Motivation, perseverance, endurance, and a “can-do” mentality are required. Feeling pleased with your accomplishments can increase your self-esteem, give you a feeling of accomplishment, and motivate you to maintain your general health.
• A high-intensity exercise can improve inventiveness for up to two hours subsequently. Instead of looking at a blank screen, get your body moving and renew both your body and mind.

Make running your best friend and take part in the Soldierthon Run!
