Today on #InnovationSportsLife we have someone who runs insane distances. She recently ran 100km non-stop (about 11 hours), and holds three Guinness world records. In 2019, she ran from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, The Trans India Run Challenge. She covered almost 4000 km in 87 days (13 days before the world record timeline), became the fastest female runner to run from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, and set a new world record. In 2021, she completed her 2nd world record running challenge, The Golden Quadrilateral Run Challenge; it was 6000 Km long. She not just completed the challenge but broke the previous record by 82 days. After Golden Quadrilateral Run, she ran on one of the world’s most challenging roads, The Manali to Leh Highway. She completed that Manali-Leh Running challenge in 6 Days and 12 hours. In July 2022, she completed her 4th expedition, The Siachen-Kargil Run (470 KM in 6 days and 8 hours). It was a tribute run to our army Bravehearts on the Kargil Vijay Diwas.
