Despite Delhi’s alarming air quality, the Sekhon IAF Marathon 2025 was flagged off on Sunday morning at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. The event, organised by the Indian Air Force (IAF), saw the participation of actors Shefali Shah, Huma Qureshi, Archana Puran Singh, and Sunil Grover, who joined the flag-off ceremony that drew hundreds of runners from across the city.

Soon after videos from the event surfaced online, social media users expressed outrage over the timing of the marathon. Many criticised the organisers for conducting an outdoor fitness event when Delhi’s air quality had reached hazardous levels, with some calling the decision “irresponsible."
