Dr BR Hariharan, 76, Doctorate in Management; Founding Member, Hyderabad Runners
I began running in 2007 at the age of 59, running a half marathon in Hyderabad. Running keeps me young, it’s my stress buster, meditation, and fun. I’m among the few Indians in the Seven Continents Club, having completed marathons on all seven continents, including Antarctica. I’m also part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors Hall of Fame, having run Chicago, Berlin, London, Tokyo, Boston, and New York. Till date, I’ve finished 70 full marathons, 11 ultras, and 200+ half marathons. Hyderabad Runners motivated me right from 2008, giving me the opportunity to take part in iconic international races like the Athens Classic Marathon (2010) and the Intercontinental Marathon in Istanbul (2013).
