About Event

The Apla Pune Marathon Season 5 proudly continues its legacy of promoting health, wellness, and social responsibility through running. As we lace up for another impactful event, we are excited to not only continue our celebrated theme from last year, "Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Run," but also to introduce a suite of new initiatives that will broaden our impact and engage our community in meaningful ways.

Continuing the Legacy: Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Run: Upholding our commitment to this vital cause, we continue to advocate for healthy lifestyle choices over substance abuse. This ongoing campaign is more than a motto—it is a movement towards wellness, empowering individuals to choose running as a path to personal and community health.

New Themes and Initiatives:

Health Education and Preventive Care: This year, we integrate health education into our marathon, offering screenings and sessions that highlight the importance of preventive care and early health intervention.

Mental Wellness and Resilience: Expanding on the mental health benefits of running, we are introducing workshops focused on mental wellness, teaching techniques for stress management and resilience.

Community Connectivity: We are enhancing our efforts to build stronger community bonds through organized running groups and social events that encourage lasting relationships.

Youth Engagement: With special events for young runners, we aim to foster a healthy lifestyle from an early age, promoting physical activity among children and teens.

Inclusivity in Sport: Our commitment to inclusivity will be highlighted through improved access for participants of all abilities, ensuring everyone can join in the race.

Sustainability Initiatives: Embracing environmental responsibility, we are launching efforts like zero waste stations and sustainable race practices to minimize our ecological footprint.

Celebrating Local Heroes: We will honor local figures who have contributed significantly to health and community welfare, inspiring our participants through their exemplary achievements.
