Hyderabad Runners, a running group based in Hyderabad, celebrated its 16th anniversary by organizing a symbolic 5K run. The event saw the participation of 150 runners from different walks of life. They ran from Jalvihar to Lumbini Park and back to where they started.
As part of the Meri Life, Mera Swachh Shehar campaign awareness, Hyderabad Runners also took a pledge for safe health and environment. GHMC Khairatabad circle AMOH, SFAs, and sanitation staff also participated in the 5K run alongside Hyderabad Runners.

About 20,000 runners from all over India visit Hyderabad to participate in the marathon. This year’s marathon will take place on August 27, 2023, as the 12th edition of the Hyderabad Marathon.
