Sports Ministry to organise Fit India Freedom Run from Aug 15 to Oct 2

The Sports Ministry will organise the largest country-wide run, the Fit India Freedom Run from 15th August to 2nd October, which boasts of a unique concept.
In keeping with the current pandemic situation and social distancing norms, the government has decided to encourage participants of the event to run at their own pace - anywhere and at any time of their convenience.
Additionally, they can break up their runs over several days in this period. The total kilometers clocked can be tracked using a Global Positioning System, GPS watch or manually.
The event is targeted to encourage fitness among the masses while following Covid-19 protocols.
Individuals and organisations can register for the event on the Fit India website. The event is being organised to mark the 74th Independence Day of India on August 15 to 151st birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi on October 2.
The motto of the ‘Freedom Run’ is to encourage fitness and help citizens to get freedom from obesity, laziness, stress, anxiety and other diseases. In the recent past as well, Fit India has organized numerous big scale events such as Fit India Plog Run and Fit India Cyclothon to take the message of fitness to the masses.
