A 100% Virtual Tribute to One of India’s Iconic War 

In 2026, India commemorates the 27th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas. On 26 July 1999, India achieved a historic victory in the Kargil War through the courage, sacrifice and determination of the Indian Armed Forces.

Kargil Vijay Diwas is not just a remembrance of victory. It is a tribute to the 527 brave soldiers who laid down their lives while protecting the sovereignty and honour of our nation.

This run is virtual, but its meaning is powerful. Every kilometre and every mile completed is a salute to the soldiers who fought in the heights of Dras, Tiger Hill, Tololing and Batalik, and to every member of the Armed Forces who continues to protect India.
