About ADR

ADR is the not-for-profit institution motoring running revolution in Ahmedabad since 2011. It is an idea which shaped up when a few professionals decided to shape up their own fitness which had taken a beating due to fast moving corporate life. Now we meet our family physicians either to brag about our improved fitness or to convert the doctor to the running! They decided to also reach out to larger community to help them reap the rewards of long-distance running. We have witnessed that when one member of the family takes up running, that is transformative for the family – No junk food, always early to bed and hence no late-night parties!

ADR offers a comprehensive, low-cost, fun, exciting group running environment to take YOU to the finish line! ADR has a proven track record of helping people of all ability to live up to their mental and physical potential. It started with ADR being the engine behind Sabarmati Marathon2011 – Gujarat’s 1st distance running event!

ADR offers group running environment and mentoring support which is perfect for anyone who has a desire to challenge themselves, wants to exercise and make new friends, wants to increase strength and stamina, look and feel better, or simply wants to get involved in a healthy lifestyle through running. Or simply, fulfil the dream of completing a full marathon! Fun fact – Only 0.01% of humans have done it before you!

ADR organizes select neighbourhood groups so you can opt for the one most convenient to you. This system works because it allows you to train with buddies who have been there and done “that”. ADR also offers you a monthly simulated race environment with hydration support to test your progress.
