🇮🇳 A Tribute to a True Air Warrior
During the 1971 Indo-Pak War, Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon displayed unparalleled courage while defending the Srinagar Airfield. Flying his Folland Gnat, he engaged six Pakistani Sabre jets and fought against overwhelming odds, displaying extraordinary bravery and an unwavering commitment to duty.
His sublime heroism, supreme leadership and complete disregard for personal safety continue to represent the highest traditions of the Indian Air Force.
The Sekhon Indian Air Force Marathon carries forward this legacy by bringing together runners, fitness enthusiasts, armed forces personnel and citizens from across the country.
More than a marathon, it is a celebration of courage, endurance, discipline and patriotism.
Inspired by the speed of a fighter jet, the endurance of an air warrior and the spirit of a united India, this run is an opportunity to push your limits, honour a hero and run for the nation.
