History of Sikhs In The City. Sikhs In The City (SITC) is the successor name of the North East London road running club with an international reach. SITC was formerly known as ‘Team Fauja’. It is organised and led by a group of enthusiasts who meet early (before 7:00am) every Sunday morning whatever the weather.
The SITC name was adapted and adopted (with permission) from the 2004 BBC programme narrated by Goodness Gracious Me star Kulvinder Ghir, Sikhs and the City provided a rare and entertaining day-in-the-life snapshot several members of one of Britain's biggest, but least understood, faith communities. Among the people featured in the programme was the then 93-year-old marathon runner, Fauja Singh who is a traditional Sikh and at the time, also a 'poster boy' for the latest Adidas campaign. Fauja Singh is a founder and Honorary member of SITC
SITC is part of the Sikh Sports Association (SSA) that encompasses all Olympic sports. SSA in turn is one part of the Internet based social policy think-tank - Sikhs In England (SIE) who are also the account holders.
SITC is governed by the SSA Constitution (see relevant tab) with membership open to Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike.
