Welcome to iKDR
Healthy, injury-free running — for everyone
In 2019, nearly 300 runners from Dombivli, Kalyan, Thane, Mumbai and even overseas took on the challenge. It is not only about building mileage: compulsory rest days, cross-training and strengthening work are built into the rules, so the season makes you durable as well as fast.
Three ways to run
Find the category that fits you
Everyone starts somewhere. Each category has its own distance limits, capping rules and points table, so you compete against people at your level.
