<h1>Air Force to hold nationwide marathons on November 2 honoring 1971 Param Vir Chakra recipient's valor at airfield</h1> The air force will host marathons on November 2 in the national capital and 60 other locations as a tribute to a Param Vir Chakra recipient who died in the 1971 war after defending an airfield against multiple enemy jets. The event, promoted under the motto 'Touch the Sky with Glory,' will include a run at JLN Stadium in the capital and parallel runs nationwide to honor the officer's valor; the awardee is the only air force officer to have received the Param Vir Chakra for actions during that conflict.
