Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon is about inclusion, perseverance: Carl Lewis

New Delhi, Oct 10(UNI) Legendary nine-time Olympic gold medallist Carl Lewis, who is the International Event Ambassador for the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon (VDHM) 2025, shared his excitement for the upcoming World Athletics Gold Label Road Race, while also motivating participants with words that capture the transformative power of sport.
During a press conference in New Delhi, Lewis emphasised how Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon is about more than just competition — it’s about breaking barriers and creating a cultural shift that brings together people from all walks of life.
“Breaking barriers is at the very heart of what the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon represents. What makes it unique is not just breaking barriers, but the cultural shift it inspires through sport. When amateurs run alongside Olympic champions, it shows how running can unite people from all walks of life. Every runner can say, ‘I ran with her, I ran with him,’ and that experience is truly inspiring. The Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon is about inclusion, perseverance, and the power to ignite change with every single step,” stated Lewis.
