Australian ultra-marathon runner Pat Farmer has entered the last leg of his fundraising run through India.
His arrival in Delhi marked more than 3,400 of his total 4,600-kilometre journey north, aimed at raising money for girls' education in the country.
Passing through Delhi's historic India Gate with a convoy of supporters in tow.
After running 80 kilometres a day for 48 days straight, sweating and triumphant, Pat Farmer's arrival marks the final phase of his epic 65-day journey.
His run is aimed at bringing the education of women into focus.
"If you educate the girl child, you educate the mothers, if you educate the mothers, if you educate the family, you educate the nation. So we're trying to make a big difference."
And that's exactly what he's set out to do.
He's hoping to raise $100,000 for girls' education in India -- a nation where female school dropout rates remain high.
Since the 53-year-old set off from India's southern-most tip, Kanyakumari in January, he's been confronted by some harsh conditions.
Battling through traffic congestion, humidity and pollution, he's suffered severe dehydration, muscle meltdown and heat exhaustion.
But the former Western Sydney MP is showing no signs of giving up.
"There have been enormous crowds as you can imagine in a country of 12 billion people I've been joined by so many people from elite athletes to elderly people, young children in schools."
His journey so far has been embraced by Indians across all castes, from small communities and villages, to the highest levels of government.
Pat Farmer is expected to reach his destination, Srinigar in Kashmir, on March 20.
It's a feat he hopes will reinforce the idea that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. "If can run the length of this country, without a day off, you can do anything you set your mind to."
