The run, organized by SpotOn Sports, was flagged off by Asian Games bronze medalist Agasara Nandini. Before the run, she addressed the gathering, stating that it was a great initiative by the SpotOn Sports CEO Rohit Mishra to provide equal opportunities in sports to all by allowing government school students to participate in the run for free entry along with private school students.
She said that seeing the children’s enthusiasm reminded her of the early days of her career ten years ago. She praised the parents for noticing and encouraging their children’s interest in sports. She opined that the sports sector in the state and the country will develop only when the government and corporate companies identify and encourage talented athletes.
