The 𝙇𝙪𝙡𝙪 𝘾𝙂𝙊𝘼 𝙆𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙞 𝙍𝙪𝙣, 𝒂 𝒓𝒖𝒏 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕 𝒅𝒓𝒖𝒈𝒔 moments!

Dear runners and friends,
We, the 𝙇𝙪𝙡𝙪 𝘾𝙂𝙊𝘼 𝙆𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙞 𝙍𝙪𝙣, 𝒂 𝒓𝒖𝒏 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕 𝒅𝒓𝒖𝒈𝒔 started our this year’s campaign with Shri. Sajesh Krishnan, first blade runner of Kerala. We have inspiring personalities from different walks of life and honestly we are overwhelmed by the response from each one of you.
Tomorrow is the race day, which you were looking for and today we are concluding our campaign with another most inspiring personality who is none other than Shri. Neeraj George, an international para-badminton player who refuses to be defined by limits, and an avid trekker driven by pure passion for adventure. From competing on the global stage to conquering the path to Everest Base Camp, his journey is a testament to resilience, discipline, and an unbreakable spirit.

Let’s celebrate life with really inspiring people like Neeraj and not by indulging on drugs.

And also let’s wish him congratulations on getting married on 23rd March 😍

Let’s hear from Shri. Gurkaran Singh Bains, the Commissioner of Cochin Customs and a distinguished 2006 batch officer of the Indian Revenue Service.
An avid reader, passionate trekker, and dedicated fitness enthusiast, his journey reflects discipline both in mind and body. His formative student years in Japan helped shape the leadership qualities that today guide the dynamic functioning of Cochin Customs.
With remarkable commitment, he has led impactful efforts that strengthened vigilance and resulted in significant detections of narcotics and contraband across formations, including the busy gateway of Cochin International Airport.
Beyond his official responsibilities, Shri Bains is also a sports enthusiast and among the key organisers of GS Bains Liberals All-India Hockey Tournament, in Punjab, reflecting his passion for promoting sporting spirit and teamwork.
We are honoured that he has graciously agreed to flag off the 5K segment and will join the 𝙇𝙪𝙡𝙪 𝘾𝙂𝙊𝘼 𝙆𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙞 𝙍𝙪𝙣, 𝒂 𝒓𝒖𝒏 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕 𝒅𝒓𝒖𝒈𝒔, inspiring participants not only through his words but also through action.
And when it comes to fitness, he truly leads from the front — effortlessly lifting 150 kg, proving that strength, discipline, and determination go hand in hand.
💫 Let’s watch the leader who inspires — in service, in sport, and in spirit🫡
