Though they belonged to different businesses, each founder member wanted to spread awareness about the mental health of men.

The event saw many families running together. Indian marathon runner Ram Singh Yadav, who represented India at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, was the chief guest of the event.

The month of November is also being observed as a ‘No-Shave November’ when men disregard shaving and so, the marathon was planned to coincide with this.

The marathon was organized from Vibgyor High School, NIBM road under four different categories – 3 km, 5 km, 10 km and 21 km. There was also a competition for men with the most stylish male beard and facial hair.

Dr Prasun Mishra (Major), an ENT specialist said, “This is the fourth year of the event. We formed this group to spread awareness on mental and physical health of men which is equally important. This year 16 differently abled (wheelchair-bound) people also participated in the event.”
