About Fit India Freedom Run
Fit India Freedom Run was conceived in 2020 when the entire nation started following social distancing in a ‘new normal’ lifestyle, so as to keep the imperative need of fitness active even while following the social distancing norms.
The campaign’s objective is to encourage fitness and help the people to get freedom from obesity, laziness, stress, anxiety, diseases etc.
The Fit India Freedom Run is yet another endeavour to strengthen the Fit Indian Movement and involve citizens to embrace fitness as a way of life.
Till date, two editions of the campaign have been held in 2020 and 2021 respectively and the campaign has seen tremendous support from various stakeholders such as government, private organizations and individuals from all walks of life and demographics making it a truly people’s campaign.
This year, Fit India Mission has decided to organize the 3rd edition i.e. Fit India Freedom Run 3.0 from October 2 to 31 under Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav initiative.
