Vijay C Creates an Amazing Backward Running Record in India
A Historic Achievement in the History of Athletics
Running is a sport that always challenges endurance, speed, and willpower. But there are some sportsmen who challenge the limits of traditional sports by performing unbelievable feats. One of such remarkable people is Mr. Vijay C, who has set a world record in India by running 10.5 kilometers backward in a mind-boggling 1 hour, 20 minutes, and 11 seconds. This remarkable record was set on June 2, 2024, in Krishnagiri, Tamil Nadu, India, and is officially registered and recognized under LIONIZE WORLD RECORDS.
About the Record Holder
Born on 23rd March 2005, in Krishnagiri District, Tamil Nadu, India, Vijay C is the son of Kamala and Chinnapaiyan. At a young age, he was interested in sports and fitness. Growing up, his interest in non-traditional athletic challenges inspired him to do something never attempted before at this level in India—backward running over a distance.

The Backward Running Challenge
Retro running or backward running is a sophisticated form of athletics that requires tremendous concentration, balance, and strength. In contrast to forward running, which involves moving the body in its natural way, running backwards necessitates more concentration in order to avoid objects and ensure correct posture. Retro running is usually employed in training for agility and stamina but finishing 10.5 kilometers in such a limited time is a remarkable achievement.
On 2nd June, 2024, in the town of Krishnagiri, Vijay C accepted the challenge under official observation of Lionize World Records. With an unshaken will, he covered 10.5 kilometers in 1 hour, 20 minutes, and 11 seconds, achieving a new standard in the sports and endurance department.
The Importance of the Feat
This world record is not only a personal achievement for Vijay C but also an India proud moment within the global athletic community. The event captures the essence of determination and creativity within sports, inspiring young sportsmen to venture into non-conventional challenges. Backward running is also found to have some advantages, such as enhanced balance, better coordination, and a low risk of knee injury. Vijay‘s feat brings to light this lesser-recognized yet very effective sporting method.
Recognition from Lionize World Records
The Lionize World Records, a company committed to the recognition of extraordinary feats, registered and officially recognized Vijay C‘s world record in India. Such recognition acknowledges his discipline, hard work, and determination. Being registered in a reputable record book not only fosters individual pride but also encourages potential athletes to push their limits beyond traditional sport.
Inspiring the Next Generation
Vijay C‘s success is an inspiration for sports fans and fitness enthusiasts throughout India. His commitment and perseverance demonstrate that any target is attainable with determination and intense training. Potential runners and athletes can learn from his record and seek new avenues to challenge their skills in endurance sports.
His tale also emphasizes the value of mental toughness in sports. To run 10.5 kilometers in reverse demands not just physical challenges but also psychological ones. Having the willpower to move ahead—or in this instance, backwards—after reaching one’s limit is what separates record-breakers from the rest.
Conclusion
By accomplishing this astounding feat, Vijay C has joined the history of world records in India. His 1–hour, 20-minute, and 11-second backward run for 10.5 kilometers stands as proof of his perseverance and commitment. Accredited by Lionize World Records, his achievement serves as a source of encouragement for athletes everywhere.
As India keeps on churning out world-class sports persons, Vijay‘s record will remain a source of inspiration that nothing is difficult if one has determination and perseverance. His feat is a shining example for future sports persons and a landmark in the history of alternative sports.
World Record India congratulates Vijay C‘s remarkable feat, and the world looks forward to his next big feat!
