This club was appointed as an official supporter in Nepal by the New York Runners, the umbrella organization which created the Running Day in 2009. The secretary at the club, Sahadev Byanjankar has said that runner’s community is now a rapidly growing community in Nepal and it has become a platform where people can share their passion with fellow runners.
