Mira Rai, renowned for her trail and sky running prowess, reveals she has been good at running from a young age. As the eldest daughter of her family, she was often tasked to travel up and down the hills to gather water and food for their cattle. Her running skills only improved when she became a child soldier at 14. She received karate training and had to rely on her running skills to navigate life-threatening situations numerous times during this period. This indomitable spirit, forged through her experiences, remains a defining trait even in her current life and occupation.
