A special edition marathon instituted to commemorate the Indian Martyrs who have laid down their lives for our country. It will be a road running event slated to take place in the national capital – Delhi, on December 16th, 2018. It promises to be a platform where passion and purpose would come together with running and philanthropic communities to connect and work towards a mutual goal. Soldierathon was an idea conceived by Major Dr Surendra Poonia,VSM in guidance of former President of India, the Late Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam, who felt the need to create awareness towards the sacrifices made by our men in uniform and at the same time help the Martyr families/children and war wounded soldiers, who along with time are forgotten by the country at large. But unfortunately, Dr Kalam Sir didn’t live through to see it happen and Major Poonia has taken it upon himself to make this dream a reality.
The objective of this marathon is to honour martyrs and wounded warriors, create a positive and enabling environment in the country where the citizens of the country, especially youth, are made aware about the great sacrifices made by our bravehearts, instill in them a sense of pride for soldiers who serve untiringly 24×7 for our nation’s integrity, unity, sovereignty and safety.
The Soldierathon – 21.1 K, 10K, 5K – is an out and back course which goes to a turnaround point, reverses direction and comes back along the opposite side of the same road to finish at the same point at which it started (or just adjacent).
All the Categories are Open for competitive runner as well as all the citizen and runners around the india from the age of 12years and above on the day of race.
