A 100% Virtual Tribute to India’s Constitution

In 2026, India celebrates its 77th Republic Day. Seventy six years ago, on 26 January 1950, the Constitution of India came into effect and the Republic of India was born. This date marks one of the most defining chapters in our nation’s history, when India took full charge of its destiny and established the world’s largest democracy on the foundation of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity.

Republic Day is not just a celebration of a constitution document. It is a tribute to the spirit of a nation and the courage of those who defend it.

The Republic Day Soldierathon 2026 is a nationwide virtual movement uniting Indians across the world to pay their tribute through their run.

This run is virtual, but its meaning is profound. Each kilometre/mile is a salute to the values that define our Republic and to the soldiers who ensure that these values remain unshaken.

The adoption of the Constitution replaced the colonial Government of India Act and marked the moment when the people of India became the ultimate authority of the nation. The President of India became the Head of State, and the values crafted by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar and the Drafting Committee began guiding every institution of free India.

While the Constitution provides the rights and freedoms, it is the Indian Armed Forces who safeguard them every single day. On this day, India honours the soldiers who protect the Republic, uphold the Constitution and stand as the shield of democracy.

Through this run, every citizen becomes a participant in a living tribute to the Constitution, the Republic and the guardians of India’s freedom.
