Hyderabad Runners, a running group in the city, celebrated its 16th anniversary by organizing a symbolic 5K run. Around 150 runners from all walks of life participated in the event. They started from Jalvihar, ran to Lumbini Park, and then returned to the starting point.
The Hyderabad Runners also took a pledge for safe health and environment as part of the Meri Life, Mera Swachh Shehar campaign awareness organized by GHMC. The GHMC Khairatabad circle AMOH, SFAs, and sanitation staff also participated in the 5K run along with the Hyderabad Runners.
The group started with only 15 people who met at KBR Park, but now it has grown to become one of the best running communities in the country with 8000 members from all over the twin cities.
The Hyderabad Runners Society also organizes the Hyderabad Marathon every year in August, which has become one of the most popular marathon events in India. Around 20,000 runners from across India visit Hyderabad to participate in the marathon. The 12th edition of the Hyderabad Marathon is scheduled for August 27, 2023.
