"The National Education Foundation is a pioneer of adventure racing in India, which helps participants imbibe values like camaraderie, team-building, leadership and rational thinking," Purandare said. Kunal Kari, Sanika Divanji and her brother Rohan, who comprise one of the many three-member teams participating in the race are thrilled. "It is a great experience doing 20 km over 15 hills in the night during the monsoon," said Kari. Latika Joshi, a management student, said, "I am participating in the adventure race after I watched and enjoyed Akshay K'umar's Fear Factor on TV. Such adventure racing events check your endurance levels, and help girls who have tremendous inner strength to pit their wits against challenges in the wild."
