DPS Srinagar is proud to celebrate the remarkable achievement of our youngest cyclist from UKG-F, who successfully completed the challenging 13-kilometer race in the Under-14 category of the ‘Pedal Through Paradise’ Cyclothon 2025.
Despite being one of the youngest participants in the event, our spirited rider showcased extraordinary determination, boundless enthusiasm, and remarkable endurance—proving that age is no barrier to courage and perseverance. Competing alongside much older cyclists, she pedaled with unwavering focus from start to finish, winning hearts along the way.
The cyclothon, organised by the J&K Armed Police in collaboration with the Fit India Movement, saw over 3000 participants cycling from the Police Golf Course to Harwan and back. Set against the scenic backdrop of Dal Lake, the event brought together participants aged 5 to 60, including specially-abled riders, in a celebration of fitness, healthy living, and youth engagement.
