Organized by the Indian Army, in collaboration with the District Administration of Lower Subansiri and local communities, the Ziro Honour Run pays tribute to the gallant soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice during the 1962 Indo-China War.
Earlier, as part of the same series, the Army had flagged off a four-day Shaurya Motorcycle Rally on October 14, 2025, from Likabali, commemorating the spirit of valor and national unity. Both events lead up to National Solidarity Day on October 20, observed annually to honour the Armed Forces and the indomitable courage of India’s soldiers.
The Ziro Honour Run will feature 21 km, 10 km, and 5 km categories, encouraging participation from all sections of society. It aims to honour the 1962 war heroes, promote civil–military harmony, and strengthen fitness and national unity. Participants will include runners from across India, personnel from the Indian Army, Air Force, ITBP, and NCC cadets.
The run will commence at 6:00 AM on October 19, 2025, from Central Dree Ground, Ziro. The scenic Ziro Valley, known for its cultural richness and natural beauty, is also expected to gain a tourism boost and enhanced community engagement through this event.
