Viswesh, a grade 6 student studying in GIIS, Bannerghatta, recently completed his second 5 Km marathon run in the past few months. This achievement inspired him to take their fitness journey to the next level.

In his first marathon, both Viswesh and his companion found the 5K run not too difficult to complete. However, his parents realized that "life begins at the end of your comfort zone." To challenge himself further, they enrolled Viswesh in Muay Thai Kick Boxing training on weekends to strengthen his core and build his agility and strength.

This time, the family participated together in the marathon, with Viswesh's mother Nithya joining in. The event was flagged off by renowned personalities like Virat Kohli, Ashwini Nachappa, and Shreyas Hosur, and witnessed the participation of around 8,000 people, including senior citizens and disabled individuals.

The family was inspired by the positive energy and vibrations of the event and has set their sights on completing a 10K marathon in the future. They believe that "running is a great metaphor for life because you get out of it what you put into it."

Viswesh and his family is grateful to GIIS for instilling a culture of sportsmanship and fitness among its students and for supporting Viswesh in his fitness journey. They look forward to continuing their pursuit of fitness and inspiring others to do the same.
