Daredevils Dwarka Monsoon Run 2025
The Dwarka Monsoon Run was a neighbourhood race almost around the corner from my house, so I signed up simply for the fun of it. There was no travel or grand occasion attached to it, just a quick early-morning 10K on the familiar, green-lined roads of Dwarka.
The monsoon made that small race feel adventurous. Humidity was well above 90 percent and felt close to 98, while the weather was terrible in exactly the way that made running through it memorable. A sensible morning might have involved staying indoors; ours involved racing ten kilometres through the damp air.
Somehow, in those conditions, I set a new 10K personal best. I had arrived expecting an enjoyable local run and left with my fastest time over the distance. It was short, close to home, and thoroughly wonderful.
