Running today is one of the most accessible forms of exercise to stay fit. All you need is a pair of shoes and some determination to get out :). It\u2019s considered good for cardiovascular health and relieves stress for some. There are more than 3 million active runners in India and everyone has their unique story on why they started running. Many people turn to running for social and community connections.<\/p>\n

Running perhaps is the only sport that is age and gender inclusive. You will often find men, women, young and elderly running together at parks and on roads. One of our goals at Rainmatter is to make participatory sports that enable staying healthy and fit more accessible to Indians.<\/p>\n

We met Vikas, the founder of Fitpage<\/a> and were impressed with his background and the work he has done to encourage the running culture in India.<\/p>\n

How can we get more Indians to run? Teach them, coach them and provide them an opportunity to showcase their efforts. Running is a sport where everyone who participates, is a winner and also gets a medal. That\u2019s exactly what Fitpage is working towards: they educate through their content, coach through their app and set up running events where you can go and show off your hard work.<\/p>\n

In 2020, fitpage started with a science-backed content platform for cardiovascular fitness. Today, they service more than 120,000 runners annually through their races and training programs. They also work in 30 cities through their offline fitness programs with the corporates.<\/p>\n

Fitpage owns India Running which is the largest marketplace for registration of running events in the country. India Running also provides a SAAS platform for race organizers and it organizes 10 running events in the year.<\/p>\n

They want to bring people outdoors to enjoy walking, and running and celebrate fitness together with friends, family and the community at large.<\/p>\n
