On Sunday, Oct 27, 2024 Indian Army organised a half marathon at Walong to commemorate 62nd Walong Day and honour the supreme sacrifice made by our soldiers during the Battle of Walong in 1962.
The event was flagged off by Subedar Narinder Singh Rawat, who is an Olympian and Commonwealth Marathon runner. 558 enthusiastic runners from the Indian Armed Forces, ITBP, BRO and citizens of Arunachal and Assam including women and children participated in the run.
Set against the serene backdrop of the Lohit valley, the runners navigated steep inclines and sharp descends that tested their physical endurance. The event was conducted in three segments of 21 Km, 10 Km and 5 Km runs and winners in each category were awarded with medals and cash prizes.
All participants were also given T-Shirts as a token of appreciation for their participation.
