Organised in collaboration with Indian Railways as special partners, the event saw the presence of Indian actress Madhurima Tuli, wrestler Anirudh Kumar, and mountaineer Narender Kumar, among the special guests. Madhurima Tuli, who has starred in the Bollywood movie ‘Baby’ opposite Akshay Kumar, was formally recognised as a Fit India Icon on the occasion by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. She has been a state-level track and field athlete as well as a hurdles race runner.

“I feel honoured to be here. Cycling has been my childhood hobby. Our PM Narendra Modi and Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya have rightly spoken about the dangers of obesity--it brings many diseases. Cycling is affordable, liberating, and keeps you mentally fit too,” she said.
