Manjunath Krishnareddy grew up in a small village near Hosur—shy, uncertain, and far from anything athletic. He ran his first marathon without a single day of training.

Today, he’s completed 160 km ultras, co-founded the Bangalore Sports Foundation, and quietly built one of the most loved grassroots running communities in India. This is a story of grit, connection, and finding your people—on the road, and in life.

⏰ Highlights:

– Life in rural Tamil Nadu

– Running his first 42K with no training

– The rise of Beyond 42 & Bengaluru Runners Jathre

– Conquering Border Ultra 160

– Building community through running
