Nationally Renowned Special K Athlete - Sugar Mill's Very Own, Arjun Sharma

Arjun Sharma and his family have lived in Sugar Mill for 18 years.  Arjun completed all his studies at our local schools.  He has always found his calling in music and running. He started running with his dad, Rupesh, when he was in the elementary school and joined Special K's running team almost 9 years ago to get proper coaching.  Special K's is an amazing program dedicated to providing training to athletes with disabilities.  The training, encouragement and camaraderie of Special K's coaching staff truly help Arjun and other athletes reach for their true potential.  Arjun has participated in dozens of 5k and 10k races with his Special K team over the years.  He has also participated in the Summer Games at Special Olympics Georgia and US Special Olympics Game in various swimming and running events, often coming home with a gold.  Arjun trains with his team, at Crunch, and you may have seen him during his training runs on the hilly streets of Sugar Mill.  Arjun ran his first Half Marathon at the age of 13 and has run a total of 12 Half Marathons so far. 

Earlier this year, Arjun was nominated by the Johns Creek Police Department, and he was selected to be part of the Final Leg Running Team that carried the Olympic Torch from Miami to Orlando for the Opening Ceremony of US Special Olympic Games.  (Upper right Picture)  Arjun is also an avid hiker and has climbed Mt Fuji, Pikes Peak, and several other mountains.  Last year he crossed the Grand Canyon from the North Rim down to the Colorado River and climbed all the way up to the South Rim in one day, a distance of 24 miles with more than 10,000 feet of elevation change.
