In 2024, Sharma completed three major marathons: the Comrades Marathon (South Africa), Silk Route Ultra in Ladakh, and Jaisalmer Ultra Marathon. He is the only civil servant to finish the 122 km Silk Route Ultra at high altitude. Sharma has also participated in numerous 10K runs, half-marathons, and ultra-marathons across India.

Sharma’s fitness journey began during his first year of engineering, addressing Meniere’s disease through jogging. Over time, he gained mental focus, stress relief, and physical fitness. Joining a running group in 2022 under coach Girish Bindra, Sharma gradually progressed from 10 km runs to endurance sports, eventually mastering swimming, cycling, and long-distance running.

Balancing work and training, Sharma adheres to strict routines, combining running, cycling, swimming, strength training, recovery, and nutrition. His achievements include the Comrades Marathon (86 km), Silk Route Ultra (122 km), Border Run (161 km), Mumbai Marathon, Ladakh Marathon, and several sea swimathons and cycling events, inspiring fitness and endurance across the nation.
