You come across many people in life, a few of them leave a lasting mark and positive influence on you. Ravi is one such person. Having known him even before RunAddicts started, I can deduce that he is a multi-talented and very practical person. He works for the social causes in his capacity, aptly supported by Savitha. One of his…

The most recognized face of RunAddicts, we have the captain of our ship, Mohan here. It is easy to motivate members once or twice but to do it month on month and year on year takes a lot of effort.

She runs ultra-marathons, supports in various causes, and inspires many to get…
