Why Devils Circuit is the perfect platform to showcase woman power

The ideal athletic pursuit for everyone

To say that Devils Circuit is a wonderful combination of fun and fitness would be an understatement. The event amps up the physical challenge to the maximum while making sure you have as much thrill as you possibly can – what more can you ask for?

Devils Circuit absolutely prides itself on its inclusiveness, too. People of all ages take part – whether you’re a grandmother or a granddaughter, a son or a dad, you can test yourself at the Circuit and slay your inner demons in the process.

At Devils Circuit, there is absolutely no distinction or discrimination. Young or old, everyone is welcome to test their athletic prowess, with the same set of obstacles for participants of any sex.

In keeping with the ideal of a woman who is strong and powerful in every way, Devils Circuit draws no distinctions between men and women – if you want to participate, you can, you do, and you finish the race with the satisfaction of your own hard work.

The women can no longer be left behind

People often categorize women as the ‘weaker sex’ despite the presence of sporting icons such as Serena Williams and Mary Kom who inspire people all over the world with their strength, skill and stamina.

Newsflash: women are not ‘weak’ anymore. In fact, they have never been weak; it’s just that the general perception about them has been flawed all along. The likes of Serena and Mary keep trying to change that perception, and the fruits of their efforts are visible for everyone to see.

Several sports that were once male-dominated, or perceived as “men’s sports”, now have women excelling in them too. These brave souls are defying the odds to come out on top of their game, thus accelerating the evolution of humanity as a whole.

MMA fighter Ronda Rousey, part of a sport traditionally associated with masculinity, has fought hard to prove that there is no such thing as a “man’s sport”. She has dealt with detractors who said she had a ‘man’s body’ with a brilliant rejoinder, “there's not a single muscle on my body that isn't for a purpose.”

Far from the perception of old, more and more women are focusing on fitness instead of succumbing to the impossible standards and images fed to the public by the media.

Devils Circuit, on its part, goes out of the way to ensure everyone is equally represented at the event. The event has 40% female participation, the largest of any sporting event in the country!

The unique female connection of Devils Circuit

While the level of women’s participation at DC is staggering, here’s something you may not know about this first-of-its-kind, nationwide event – it was founded by a woman, too.

Zeba Zaidi, co-founder of DC, quit a plush job with a multinational firm in London, and then Dubai, before moving to India. She and her husband Adnan Adeeb, both sports enthusiasts, longed to promote sports in India, and are doing so too – with immense success.

More and more women are being drawn to the event, with organizers expecting the number to grow even further as Devils Circuit picks up steam across the country. The fact that emphasis on female participation is so strong has ensured that DC has turned into a truly mixed gender event, which is not something that many races in the world can boast.
