The Unity Run will be flagged off from Mumbai on August 15, 2021 and will end at The Statue of Unity at Sardar Sarovar Dam, Kevadia on 22nd August 2021. Ultraman and barefoot runner, Milind will complete the entire distance of 420 kms in 8 days. Milind will be visiting schools, hospitals and villages enroute to spread the message of unity, peace, harmony as well as fitness. Milind Soman has also organised various plantation drives along the way. The Unity Run is sponsored by Union Bank of India – Principal Sponsor, Apis Himalaya Honey – Powered by Sponsor, Fitbit India – Official Fitness Partner, SO GOOD – Beverage Partner, CARRERA EYEWEAR – Sun Protection Partner, Evergreen Club App – Wellness Partner, Fujifilm – Imaging Partner and Figaro Olive Oil – Healthy Cooking Oil Partner.

Commenting on The Unity Run, yet another power-packed initiative, Milind Soman said,  “I am all set for the solo Unity Run on the occasion of the 75th Year of India’s Independence and urge my fellow citizens to actively work towards unity, peace and harmony of our country in any way they can. I have always believed in the message of health and fitness for all, even through my participation in long distance events in the past whether it was triathlons like Ironman and Ultraman, or running from Delhi to Mumbai or Ahmedabad to Mumbai. I believe the country can be united through common goals of running, walking, health and fitness and the thought behind Unity Run is to manifest this very message. I believe that a unified nation is a progressive nation. A country that stays together, prospers & grows together. Every individual has a responsibility to contribute towards the unity & oneness of the country and a responsibility to keep themselves and their families healthy. For me, running helps in maintaining peace and harmony not only with self but also balances my existence with the external environment. I want to encourage everyone to take charge of their life and lead it with utmost consciousness of body and mind. It is not necessary for everyone to run 400km in a week, but at least 5% of that should be a possibility if made a priority. This is how we will make India, a united, harmonious and a fit country, exactly how we aspire it to be.”
