SUDHIR DARYAN

BIO

Introducing Sudhir Daryan, adorning the olive green proudly and serving the nation for the last 24 years. Physical fitness is an integral part of Army life. However, Sudhir’s perspective for physical fitness changed in 2018 when he was on a foreign assignment in South Sudan as part of United Nations Peacekeeping forces, where he met a group of runners from various countries and he started running with them. Sudhir gradually improved his fitness and running as well. He participated in a 10K run organised by the UN and felt the happiness of start and finish line for the first time. Thereafter, running became a mandatory activity of his daily routine. He ran his first half marathon in January 2019 in Lucknow and has participated in more than 50 marathons and half marathons, including the Ladakh marathon, Tata Mumbai Marathon, Apollo New Delhi Marathon, Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon, Tuffman Delhi and Chandigarh, and many more. He has also successfully completed the Khardung La Challenge (72K) in 10:44:31 and is also a Procam Slam finisher 2023-24. Sudhir’s PB for marathon is 03:23:09 and for half marathon is 1:28:58. During the last five years of his running journey, he has seen many ups and downs, but running has been a great motivator and acted like therapy for him. Sudhir’s motto is to be healthy, keep running and keep inspiring.
