The RunWalkIndia 5K which was scheduled on July 20th 2008 at the Jayaprakash Narayan Park in Mathikere, Bangalore was a quite a success in bringing people from all parts of Bangalore. The advertising in Deccan Chronicle, Bengaluru brought in enthusiast runners from various parts of Bangalore to the event.
About 85 people, a mix of regular runners, first timers, re-starters and all took this opportunity to participate and initiate the group running activity as called upon by the RunWalkIndia team. There were many women runners and competed well with men and completed the 5K run comfortably.
This Event made Team RunWalkIndia organizers proud when people shared their views on the activities of RunWalkIndia which successfully has initiated the running attitude to bring out the talent in the kids to make better champions of life for the future. Several runners who shared their experiences a the event were happy and eager to know if RunWalkIndia can cater to other areas. They also assured their support & help.

“ Gr8! event organised by your team y'day. i really enjoyed” in a mail to our team member.
All finishers were given finishers medals to encourage their participation.
Prizes for each age group was given away to send the winners with a broad smile relieving some of the pain in their legs.
The absence of few members due to their various personal reasons did not hamper the schedule of the event and multitasking members managed the event well, Special thanks to them. Even the request by many parents who brought in their tiny kids to have fun run for them was arranged to share their joy.
Many were happy with the announcement of the running club and are looking forward to its first weekend club run. The participants look upon the running club to take running tips and achieving more distances comfortably.
