New Delhi : If you get off to a good start, running can be a real joy.
However, just waking up and going to run every day can turn it into a mundane activity. To help prevent this, there are many running clubs that are bringing runners together.
These clubs are not just about putting on shoes and running. They are all about connecting with others as well as your own self. Let us take a look at four such clubs in Delhi.
