Bengaluru is a city with constant hustle-bustle and has a population of over 12 million, thus making it the third most populous city amongst essential towns in India and a megacity. The city has various events and opportunities for those who want to step into the world of fitness. One such event called The “FIT India Triathlon” was organised by Shri Tejasvi Surya, Member of Parliament, Bengaluru South and his team along with Shri Kiren Rijiju, Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, on the 22nd February, to encourage enthusiastic Bengalureans to come forward and be a part of the Fit Bengaluru For Fit India Movement. Both the eminent personalities rode on the Miracle and enjoyed the riding experience thoroughly. The event consisted of a Mini Triathlon starting with a 3km run for 45 minutes in the Lal Bagh garden, followed by a 1.5 km cyclothon in collaboration with Yulu for 20 minutes from Lal Bagh gardens to Basaguvundi Aquatic Centre and concluded there with a 30 minute swim of 2 laps. We were pleased to contribute to the Triathlon with our Yulu Move.
Tejasvi Surya has always promoted sustainability and fit India, and contributed to Bangalore’s cleanliness. He has also worked with various stakeholders – BBMP, BWSSB, BMRCL etc – to help clear the roads in Bannerghatta Road. He coordinated a joint meeting with these departments and relatively eased life for thousands of commuters who use this road. A lot of people were impressed that an MP got down into the grit of solving the basic infrastructure problems that plague the city.
As INDIA’S SPORTING & FITNESS CAPITAL, BENGALURU is home to India’s largest Fitness Startups that are changing the face of sports & fitness in India. It also hosts the Sports Authority of India,the premier sports Institute in the country. Making the triathlon was a huge success with many participants from all walks of life.
Here’s what the Chief Guest Shri Kiren Rijiju said about the event,
“An exciting #FitBengaluruForFitIndia with the most enthusiastic Bengalureans.”
We at Yulu strongly believe that the will to be fit should come from within and we promote it as it’s our mission to make India more sustainable, fit, and have a seamless experience.
