Why We Run & Walk

This isn't just a 5k; it's a chance to move together for something bigger than us. Every stride, every mile, every smile helps supports organizations like Ekal Vidyalaya, Adopt A Class and IACC that are making a difference in our communities.

Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation

Ekal Vidyalaya works to bring education to children in rural and tribal areas of India through a unique one-teacher school model. These schools provide basic education, digital literacy, and life skills to children in remote villages where access to education is limited. By supporting Ekal, we help empower communities through education and opportunity.

Adopt A Class Foundation

Adopt A Class parters with local schools to support teachers and students by providing funding for classroom resources, educational programs, mentorship opportunities. Their work helps strengthen local classrooms and ensures students have the tools they need to succeed.

Every registration and donation helps support these important initiatives and creates lasting impact both locally and globally.

Whether you're running for a personal best or walking to enjoy the day, your steps make an impact.
