Vidya Bharati Alumni pays homage to Wing Commander Ashis Roy, runner, author, and cardiologist best known as the first Indian man to run 100 marathons, On His Birth Anniversary.

As of 2015, he has completed 145 total races, 115 of which are full marathons. Roy's first competitive race was a one-mile run in 1949 when he was 16. On January 17, 2010, he became the first person from India to run 100 marathons and was the first Indian ever to join the 100 Marathon Club, which he did in 2015.

In remembrance of Wing Commander Ashis Roy and as a support toward the nation, let us join the Vidya Bharati Alumni Network.
