Running for a cause
The Inorbit Durgam Cheruvu Run (IDCR) 2023 is a run with a cause. The proceeds from #RunForInclusion will go towards providing skill development and employment opportunities for people with disabilities in the service sector. IDCR has partnered with NGO Nirmaan to further this cause. If nothing else is motivating you to register, this should. Your contribution will help someone with a disability earn a livelihood. The second edition of Inorbit Durgam Cheruvu Run in 2022 saw a participation of over 3,200 individuals including 90 specially-abled runners. A total fund of Rs.30 lakh was raised to provide skill development and employment opportunities to Persons with Disability.
Fitness tips
Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, remember that you always need to prep before a run. Make sure you’re following a regular 7-8 hours sleep cycle days before the run. Keep your body hydrated with a regular intake of fluids. Stretch daily and follow this up with a 30-minutes workout regime to help build your stamina. If you’re a beginner, run starting with a kilometre a day and slowly increase the distance till you reach the number you have in mind for the final run. Pack your diet with fruits and proteins. And last but not the least, spare 10 minutes every day to meditate and prep your mind for the challenge ahead.
This year, Inorbit Durgam Cheruvu Run has Alt Life by Shoppers Stop as the Powered By Partner, Kamal Watch Co as Timing Partner, Limca Sportz as Hydration Partner, Skechers as Running Partner and Fever FM as the Radio Partner for the event.
