Soldierathon

In a powerful display of national pride, unity, and gratitude, more than 5,000 runners converged at the Army Hospital Research & Referral (AHRR) grounds in New Delhi for the Venky’s AHRR Delhi Soldierathon 2025. This extraordinary event, organized to pay tribute to the martyrs and brave soldiers of the Indian Armed Forces, became a heartwarming celebration of patriotism, purpose, and community spirit.

A Tribute Beyond Words

The Soldierathon was not just a fitness event; it was an emotional homage to the real heroes of the nation — the bravehearts who laid down their lives in the line of duty. Organized by Fitistan – Ek Fit Bharat, India’s largest community-led fitness movement, in association with India’s premier Military Hospital, AHRR, the run attracted an impressive mix of serving soldiers, veterans, civilians, students, and fitness enthusiasts. Each participant carried in their heart a deep sense of respect and gratitude for the Armed Forces.

The Soldierathon was flagged off at 5:45 AM in an atmosphere brimming with patriotic zeal. The honourable Governor of Mizoram, General V. K. Singh, graced the occasion and flagged off the run, setting the tone for a morning of heartfelt tributes and energetic camaraderie.

What made the event even more special was the opportunity for civilians to run alongside Indian soldiers, experiencing firsthand the inspiration of their resilience, discipline, and commitment to the nation.

A Cause that Touches Every Heart

Beyond the powerful symbolism of unity, the Soldierathon also served a critical social mission. Proceeds from the event are being directed toward the Paraplegic Rehabilitation Center in Kirkee, Pune — a facility dedicated to the rehabilitation and care of soldiers who have suffered spinal injuries while serving the country.

This noble cause struck a deep chord with participants and supporters, reinforcing the idea that the nation stands strong when its protectors are supported with compassion and care.

Fitistan: A Movement with a Mission

The visionaries behind this heartfelt initiative are Major Dr. Surendra Poonia, VSM (Ex-Special Forces) and Mrs. Shilpa Bhagat (Mrs. India World 2013). Under their dynamic leadership, Fitistan – Ek Fit Bharat has grown into a national movement that not only promotes physical fitness but also drives social change through purpose-driven events.

Speaking about the event, Major Dr. Surendra Poonia said:

“The Soldierathon is more than just a run — it’s our collective salute to India’s bravest. We thank every participant, volunteer, and especially our partners like Venky’s, who made this event possible. Through fitness, we honour those who protect us — and today, we ran with purpose.”

A Morning to Remember

As the sun rose over Delhi, the sight of thousands running shoulder to shoulder — many draped in the national flag, others wearing badges of honour — created an unforgettable image of a grateful nation united in tribute. Emotional moments, cheering crowds, and the overwhelming spirit of service marked the day as an iconic chapter in community-led patriotism.

The Venky’s AHRR Delhi Soldierathon 2025 proved that fitness, patriotism, and compassion can come together to create impact — not only in kilometers run, but in lives touched and heroes honoured.
