MUMBAI: They say courage marches on but this time, it’s running. The Indian Army, in partnership with Red FM, is taking patriotism off the parade ground and onto the streets with Shauryaveer 2025 Run for India, a heart-thumping tribute to bravery, fitness, and national unity. Set to flag off on 26 October 2025, the event marks the 79th Shaurya Diwas, commemorating the indomitable spirit of India’s armed forces. But Shauryaveer isn’t just a run, it’s a stride of solidarity, a living reminder that the nation’s real heartbeat lies in the courage of its soldiers and the people who stand beside them.
The Delhi Cantonment will come alive as citizens run shoulder to shoulder with jawans, each kilometre echoing with pride and purpose. The event features four run categories 21 km, 10 km, 5 km, and 3 km, ensuring that everyone, from seasoned athletes to first-time runners, finds their pace in this patriotic marathon.
More than an endurance event, Shauryaveer 2025 channels the essence of the Fit India Movement, transforming fitness into a shared act of tribute. The route may be measured in kilometres, but the emotion that powers it stretches far beyond.
In a country where soldiers embody selflessness, the initiative bridges the gap between uniformed valour and civilian admiration. For many participants, it’s not about crossing the finish line first, it’s about carrying the spirit of unity every step of the way.
Red FM & Magic FM, director and COO Nisha Narayanan captured the campaign’s soul best: “Shauryaveer 2025 Run for India is a powerful tribute to the Indian Army, where every kilometre is a stride of unity, pride, and remembrance. What makes it truly special is the opportunity for citizens to run alongside our Armed Forces, celebrating the values that bind us as one nation.”
She added, “At Red FM, we feel honoured to be associated with this initiative and to carry its message across the length and breadth of the country. I urge everyone to come forward, take part, and show their support for the Indian Army through this remarkable initiative.”
From morning warm-ups to the sound of sneakers pounding the pavement, Shauryaveer promises a morning where discipline meets celebration. It’s where slogans of “Jai Hind” replace finish-line cheers and medals carry the weight of emotion rather than metal.
And while the run honours the military’s unflinching courage, it also celebrates something larger the spirit of togetherness that fuels India’s everyday heroes. It’s a reminder that fitness, much like freedom, thrives when shared.
