Fitness And Patriotism Collaborate As 86th Fit India Sundays On Cycle Celebrates Independence Day
The special edition brought together Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) personnel like the CRPF, SSB, ITBP, BSF, Assam Rifles, and more, young athletes, fitness ambassadors and more, who not only took part in a 2-km warm-up run and a 5-km cycling ride but also activities like yoga, Zumba and fitness challenges, as well as patriotic singing performances. Participants also took a collective pledge towards a Nasha Mukt Bharat, committing themselves to staying away from substance abuse and encouraging healthier lifestyles.
“Connecting programs like this with the Independence Day celebrations does wonders to awaken patriotism among all. Since yesterday was Independence Day and the general public is so hyped up, the scene is quite good. This feels quite good, especially for all Indians because this started in 2024, and almost 40 lakh Indians from different districts have come and participated in it,” said Nafees, who was a part of India’s bronze medal-winning men’s junior team at the World Junior Squash Championship 2026.
