#RunForRunners

India needs to support the Deepa Karmakars, Heema Das s and other medal prospects right from the start. Only when the athletes are supported at the start of their career can they pursue their dreams in National & International events.

WE are associating ourselves with this cause to enable underprivileged runners to register for different events in India and abroad. Each registration to the event will contribute in parts to at least one poor runner to run any event around India.
