Actor and model Milind Soman has completed an eight-day barefoot run of 420 km on the 182 meter tall statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel at the Statue of Unity at Sardar Sarovar Dam in Kevadia, Gujarat.
Milind started running from Shivaji Park in Dadar, Mumbai on 15th August and completed it last Sunday. His wife Ankita Konwar also covered a distance of 28 km with him. Milind covered this distance by running about 60 km daily.
The fitness enthusiast battled heavy rain, flooded roads, scorching sun and high fever to complete the race. Eight months later he came on the road to escape. Prior to this, Milind has been a part of many marathons.
His just-concluded campaign was to promote the nationwide Fit India and Swasth Bharat campaign launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
