As a socially responsible organisation, Poonawalla Fincorp is committed to support such initiatives and endeavours. We are grateful to our soldiers for their selfless sacrifice towards the Nation and I feel we must recognise and support every single initiative which celebrates their valour. This marathon organised by Major Poonia Ji's Fitistan-Ek Fit Bharat provides once in a lifetime opportunity to run shoulder to shoulder with our soldiers inside the BEG Dighi Hills. I am certain that Pune being one of the important bases of Indian Armed Forces, this marathon will create a positive environment amongst citizens, especially the youth."
Fitistan, Ek Fit Bharat, a joint initiative by Major Surendra Poonia, VSM and Shilpa Bhagat, Mrs India World 2013 is committed to making Bharat fitter and getting civilians and armed forces together.

Organising Marathons such as Soldierathon brings a big likeminded community together and inspires them to do their personal best.

We at Fitistan take a lot of effort in ensuring that each of these factors are well thought out and executed. We aim at facilitating the best experience because that in turn inspires every participant to give their best and keep them going just like our tagline #ruknamanahai. At Fitistan 'hum rukenge nahi' until we can eradicate lifestyle diseases and have a Fit Bharat
The race will be conducted within the precincts of the BEG Centre, Dighi Hills, Pune on Sunday, January 14, 2024.
Registration is open now and will closes on Sunday 7 Jan 2024.
This will be a unique race for the participating athletes as they will get a rare and lifetime opportunity to experience running along with soldiers of 100 Regiments of Indian Army who are coming from all over India to participate in this historic marathon at BEG Centre in Dighi Hills.
The entire route for the runners will be on soft ground and going through the verdant surroundings of the lush Dighi Hills and Gurnam Lake inside the BEG campus.
A distinctive feature of this marathon is that the participants will run on soft running routes. This will be completely different from most road running marathons, which can cause more stress on your knee/ankle joints. In the city environment of Pune/Mumbai such soft routes for running are not available.
Another aspect of the marathon is that it is open to civilians and will provide an opportunity for people from all walks of life to run shoulder to shoulder with our soldiers and also experience the military way of life.
The last date for registration is Sunday, January 7th, 2024
