Summary

I’m Surpreet Singh Khalsa, affectionately known as Suri Paaji in the sports world. My journey began with a love for running that has grown into a full-fledged career in the endurance sports industry since 2013. Over the last 15 years, I’ve completed more than 50 races, from half marathons to ultra marathons, including representing India at the 100 km international competition in Hong Kong in 2017.

I’m also proud to be an Internationally Certified Road Race Measurer by World Athletics™ and AIMS, placing me among a select few in India with this technical accreditation. Every event I’m part of is driven by my passion for the sport and a commitment to delivering world-class race experiences.
