Anirudha Athani

I believe running isn’t just a physical pursuit, it can be meditative. I find running to be a source of happiness in and of itself, and a profound way to honour God. I am trying to get more and more people to discover the joy of running, and get inspired to live a fit and healthy life.
I'm originally an Engineer with almost 2 decades of experience in manufacturing. I say 'Originally', because discovering marathon running 12 years back changed my health and my life. It is because of running that I discovered a new profession aligned with my core values of Healthy living, Fitness, and Making a positive impact on society. Now as a Marathon Trainer and Health Coach, I am the Head Coach at ActivNRG Athletic Club, a group of fitness enthusiasts at Nashik in Maharashtra. I have been pacing Full Marathons since the past 8 years, and have paced at the last 3 editions of TMM. Recently I got the opportunity to pace the 3:40 bus at Cape Town Marathon 2023. Passionate about the technical aspects of running, I am also a World Athletics Accredited Course Measurer, authorized to measure Marathon routes for AIMS Certification. I love running ultra distances and have run several 100k/100 milers so far. Looking forward to pace at TMM this year and help many runners achieve their goals.
