Jhilum Sarkar

My name is Jhilum Sarkar. I am married and a mother of two kids. I am a yoga teacher and I have been running since 2018. I paced the 60 minutes bus in TSK 10k last year.  I have run multiple 10k, 21k and five full marathons and I ran the Tata ultra 50k in February 2023. I have also run a Pune to Mumbai intercity run, 165kms in 2019. I was preparing for comrades 2023 when I was detected with breast cancer. I fought the fierce battle and came out as a winner only because of running, a positive outlook and overall good health. I feel life’s biggest blessing is our ability to run. Running has made me physically and mentally strong so that I am ready to face any challenges in life. It is because of my running that I could bounce back so soon. I resumed running and now ready to pace the 75 minute bus in TSK.
