He started his running career journey on 08th of January 2017 at JBG TRAIL Run 10 km.
He was a fitness freak from his early school days but running was not a cup of tea for him. He was not even interested to complete 2 km in his trade mill because it was tough enough for him to cover. But after his first run, everything got changed within a minute.
After he started running on a regular basis, he had no health issues; even he started feeling positive from the morning.

He became an admin of the North Kolkata Runners group. Running made his life easy cause he could eat anything and everything he wanted.

He had recently helped JW MARRIOTT on 23.09.18, for conducting an event for a good cause.
He wants to be an ultramarathoner in the future. He wants to stick to his small dreams until he fulfills it, after fulfilling the respective dream, he wants to move ahead to achieve something more.

For him, the Pacers’ strategy is simple. He carries a big speaker along with him so that his runners along the route doesn’t feel bored. Lots of jokes, motivation, shouting, hooting, and dance is his positive side.

During pacing he never pays any attention towards his surroundings, he only concentrates about the emotions of his runners. He could only see the trust and the love of the runners towards the marathon. Including music, pacer Rahul Gupta tries to have some conversations with his group members. Along with that, he tries to crack jokes, which helps the runners to cheer up. He sometimes shares their own painful stories so that the runners get some motivation. Rahul Gupta feels like the pacing is not just a job its rather about love for running.
