Running now has so many different meanings for so many different people beyond the straightforward idea of maintaining fitness. It has evolved into a platform for expressing liberation, unity, and increasing societal consciousness. Keeping this in mind, the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade conducted a marathon on 20th November to raise awareness about mental health.
As part of the event, there were two tracks, one 5.5 km, and the other 11.5 km long. More than 500 runners from all over the country gathered to participate in the event. The hustle and bustle that filled the campus early in the morning would be a memory IIFT will cherish.
The marathon kickstarted with the chief guest, Mr. Ripu Daman, an established social activist who is also known as the Plogman of India waving the flag.
Runners of different ages, diverse backgrounds, and occupations all started running together united for a cause. People crossed each checkpoint with zeal and gusto and ultimately reached the finish line.
The smile of accomplishment on the faces of every individual after running the Marathon was indeed memorable and reflected the success of IIFT Marathon 2022.
