Gangtok Soldierathon update:-

The misty hills of Gangtok awakened to the pounding of feet as runners gathered for the Solidarity Marathon with Indian Army. Among them was Avisek Tunga, ambassador of the event, leading his team of Dquests adventure Sports Academy with unwavering determination.

As the starting gun fired, Avisek sprinted forward, his feet devouring the distance. The 21.1 km half marathon with 500 m climbing seemed daunting, but he conquered it in 1 hour and 53 minutes.

Behind him, his teammates pushed their limits:

Arindam Banerjee, Amit Mohanty, Prince Ahmed, and Deep Sarkar – each crossing the finish line with triumphant smiles.

But one runner stole the show: Sumana Debnath. A civilian and Dquest trainee, she shattered expectations by securing 1st place in the 30-year female category.

As the team reunited, exhaustion gave way to elation. Laughter and cheers filled the air as they celebrated their victories.

Avisek beamed with pride. "Today, we didn't just run – we inspired. We proved that with grit and training, anything is possible."

Sumana's eyes sparkled. "I couldn't have done it without Dquest's guidance. This win is for every woman who dares to dream."

As Kanchanjangha appeared behind the Hills, the Dquest team basked in the joy of achievement, their bond strengthened by the shared struggle.

In Gangtok's solidarity marathon, Dquest Adventure Sports Academy left an indelible mark – a testament to teamwork, perseverance, and the unbreakable human spirit.

Dquest Adventure Sports Academy Achieves Outstanding Feat at Solang Sky Ultra*

On October 5-6, 2024, a trio of talented athletes from Dquest Adventure Sports Academy—Soumyadip Mondal, Avisek Tunga, and Md Nawaz—participated in the notorious Solang Sky Ultra, a grueling 100 km trail running event dubbed "the stage of hell race."

In an impressive display of endurance and determination, Soumyadip Mondal and Md Nawaz successfully completed the brutal race in an impressive 31 hours and 27 minutes.

Regrettably, Avisek Tunga faced a formidable challenge, ultimately unable to finish due to severe sleep deprivation.

Dquest Adventure Sports Academy congratulates Soumyadip Mondal and Md Nawaz on their remarkable accomplishment and commends Avisek Tunga for his courageous endeavor. This outstanding performance reflects the academy's commitment to nurturing exceptional athletic talent.
