Panchkula, August 26, 2021: Marking the Diamond Jubilee year of Independence, Venus Remedies is organising Freedom Run 2021 on National Sports Day on August 29, where 79-year-old legendary distance runner Amar Singh Chauhan, who has won 81 gold medals in 92 marathons he has run across the world since 2012, will be among the participants with 2018 Asian Games gold medallist Manjit Singh Chahal as the chief guest. Aiming to promote the need for keeping fit and maintaining a healthier lifestyle, Freedom Run 2021 is open to public participation through registration in the 5 km, 10 km and 21 km categories.
