Day 1 began early on June 26th at Shivaji Park, Dadar, where Milind officially flagged off the 5th edition of the Run. He covered 21 kilometers on foot and 90 kilometers by cycle, concluding the first leg at Kolad. Day 2 followed a similar format, ending at Chiplun, with the route taking him through lush green hills, winding roads, and monsoon-drenched villages that define the Konkan terrain. Reflecting on the journey so far, Milind Soman shared "Every kilometer through the Konkan feels like a celebration of nature and spirit. The rain, the winding paths, the endless green--it's beautiful, but also demanding. The Fit Indian Run is about embracing that challenge, staying consistent, and finding unity in our collective pursuit of health and well-being."
