10 most famous Indian marathon runners of all time

#2 Major D P Singh (disabled)

Life seemed to have come to a standstill for Major D P Singh when a shell exploded near him during the Kargil conflict, resulting in him losing his right leg. He, however, refused to let life hand him a hard hand, rising from the ashes like a phoenix to become the blade marathon runner of India. Singh required 10 long and painful years to recover from his crippling injury. But he didnt give up hope. After having the blade fitted to his amputed leg, he began practicing and training for running marathons. SInce then, there was no looking back for this fiery man, who has participated in every edition of the Delhi Half marathon, even clocking a commendable 2 hours 40 minutes at the event.

Singh continues to be an inspiration to athletes across the country and the world with his cheerful demeanour and steel-determination.
