Mumbai’s vibrant streets came alive once again as fitness icon and actor Milind Soman laced up for his 21st Mumbai Marathon. This wasn’t just any run for the 58-year-old star; it marked his 14th full marathon at this prestigious event, clocking an impressive 4 hours and 54 minutes on his watch.
Soman, known for his unwavering dedication to health, shared his exhilaration on Instagram, calling the marathon ‘the most special and almost perfect day of the year.’ His wife, Ankita Konwar, was right by his side, pacing a friend through their first full marathon and finishing in 4 hours and 40 minutes. The duo’s participation underscores their commitment to pushing limits and inspiring others.
‘Running my 21st Mumbai Marathon here, my 14th full marathon. What an incredible event it’s become,’ Soman posted. He extended heartfelt thanks to organizers Anil, Vivek, and the entire team, while urging fellow runners: ‘Consistency is the key, friends. This is where I started running, and where I come back every year to express my gratitude! You all are great!’
Milind Soman’s fitness journey is legendary. From barefooted treks in the hills to rainforest runs logging 20,000 steps, he embodies holistic wellness. Recently, he conquered a 15-kilometer open-water swim off Goa’s beaches—his longest ever. For Soman, running transcends exercise; it’s meditation in motion. He’s even cycled 80 kilometers in running sandals, proving nature is his ultimate gym.
As Mumbai Marathon grows into a global spectacle, Soman’s message resonates louder: stay consistent, embrace the grind, and let fitness fuel your life’s marathon. His story reminds us that age is no barrier when passion drives you forward.
