It was a race against time and themselves.

Seventy years ago, three men competed to break a world record – the four-minute mile.

Anantnag: A barefoot ultra-marathon runner from Kerala will “run for health” on March 27 from Hazratbal shrine in Srinagar to north Kashmir’s famous tourist destination Gulmarg.
