Runathon 2024: Striding Towards Fitness and Community Well-being

A celebration of health, fitness, and samaritan spirit at Apeejay School, Noida

Published

on

Apeejay School, Noida, has long been synonymous with excellence, and its annual mega-event, the Runathon 2024, has become a hallmark of this commitment. Following the success of its inaugural 2023 edition, the school is set to host the much-anticipated second edition of Runathon on October 2, 2024.

Living up to the motto, “Together we stride for every child to thrive,” Runathon emphasises that fitness is the cornerstone of holistic education. After all, a healthy body sustains a healthy mind. This year’s Runathon goes beyond being just a race—it’s a rallying call for a balanced and active lifestyle. It’s more than a morning run; it’s a movement for holistic well-being.

A Cause Greater Than Fitness

What sets Runathon 2024 apart is its dual focus. While fitness remains a key priority, this year the event embraces a larger cause—total amount raised will support a charitable trust. It’s not just about crossing the finish line; it’s about making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need. The participants will not only be running for their own health but also running with a purpose.

Event Details and Highlights

The marathon will be flagged off by Ironman Copenhagen Shri Ravi Kumar Arora at 5:30 AM from the school premises. With participants from all age groups, including students, parents, and professional runners, the event promises to be a community-wide celebration of health and vitality. Registrations are pouring in, and anticipation is building.

Each participant will be provided with a custom event T-shirt, ensuring they are ready to take on the challenge in style. But that’s not all—the registration package also includes post-run refreshments, media coverage, hydration drinks along the route, and advice from a dietician. In addition, a medical support team will be on hand to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants. Mr Pradeep Kumar, Chief Fire Officer (CFO) of Noida, will be present on the occasion to award the winners.

One of the most exciting aspects of the Runathon is the Zumba session, a fun,
high-energy activity that participants can enjoy before or after the run. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or a casual runner, this dynamic event offers something for everyone.

Kickstart Your Day with Runathon 2024

The Runathon will officially kick off at 5:30 AM, right from the school compound. The energy in the air will be palpable, and we encourage everyone to be part of this exhilarating experience. Don’t just be a spectator—embrace the opportunity to start your day with a personal win. Whether you’re running for fitness, for fun, or for the cause, there’s no better way to spend your morning.

So, lace up your running shoes, join the movement, and take your first step toward a healthier you. It’s not just about crossing the finish line—it’s about discovering the joy of running, pushing your limits, and contributing to a meaningful cause.
