HYDERABAD: The lockdown due to Covid-19 and the restrictions imposed in the last few months has forced many to stay at home. Physical activities and exercises have taken a severe beating as people have preferred to stay safe.
Therefore, to encourage fitness and help people to gain freedom from obesity, laziness, stress, anxiety, diseases etc. a unique run will be held from August 29 to September 7 across the country. The run will be held to celebrate the National Sports Day.
Physical Education Foundation of India (PEFI) and Fit India Movement will conduct the PEFI-Fit India Movement Run and the concept behind the run is that “it can be run anywhere, anytime”.
The 10-day event gives the runners great flexibility in choosing the time and place of the run. Some of the options are: run a route of their choice, at a time that suits them, break-up of the run and run the race at their own pace.
The runners will have to ensure physical distancing when undertaking the run and have to run using a GPS based device such as a watch/mobile phone and sync their workouts to the app.
The run data can be submitted from August 29 to September 7. No data will be accepted after the given date.
Runners will receive e-certificate. For registration contact national coordinator Tarun Kumar Sharma (9910147545) and Mekala Ramakanth, in-charge of Telangana, on 9700000808.
