If you were in Bengaluru this weekend, you might have noticed a crowd of energetic people gathering at Balakrishna Rangamandira in Rajarajeshwari Nagar. That was RunAddicts hosting their 7th Annual Run, and by all accounts, it was a huge success.

Big Turnout, Big Energy

Over 3,500 people came out to run or walk, including families, fitness buffs, and teams from local companies.
The RunAddicts community is strong, with thousands of people connected through WhatsApp and Facebook, and everyone seemed to be in high spirits.

More Than Just a Run

There were options for everyone—10K, 5K, and 3K routes, all untimed, so people could go at their own pace.
The event kicked off with a fun Zumba session, and along the route, local musicians and spectators cheered everyone on.
At the finish line, participants got a medal, an e-certificate, and a good breakfast to recharge.

A Green Event, Every Year

For the seventh year in a row, RunAddicts made sure the event was zero-waste.
Everyone was encouraged to avoid disposable items, use reusable utensils, and take their trash home, leaving the venue spotless.

Supporting a Great Cause

This year’s theme was “Educate a Rural Child,” and the money raised will help provide education, health, and sports resources for kids in rural areas.
RunAddicts has already donated over 225,000 notebooks, desks, bags, sports equipment, and scholarships to students in need.

A Real Community Effort

Hundreds of volunteers made sure everything ran smoothly, with medical support and ambulances on standby just in case.
The whole event was a reminder of how much can be achieved when people come together for a good cause.

Bottom Line

RunAddicts’ 7th Annual Run was a perfect mix of fitness, fun, and philanthropy. It’s inspiring to see so many people working together to make a difference.
