The Pinkathon, India’s biggest women’s run, is an initiative of the United Sisters Foundation and organised by Maximus Mice and Media Solutions Pvt Ltd. It was created with the specific purpose of getting more and more women to adopt a fitter lifestyle and to highlight the need for increased awareness about Breast cancer and other health issues that put women’s lives at risk. State Bank of India took up the title sponsorship of the Pinkathon in 2014. The founders of Pinkathon are Milind Soman and Reema Sanghavi.
The Pinkathon experience has been so effective that literally thousands of women in each city are taking up running as a regular activity. Some among them have been so inspired that they have become ambassadors for the cause, promoting women’s causes, getting women to run and spreading awareness of breast cancer.
The running distance of 10K is gaining popularity all over the world. It is a much shorter distance than the full marathon (42.195 km) or even the half marathon (21.0975 km). The 3K pink ribbon walk for Breast Cancer is a popular category in the event where from 10 year old girls to women in their 70’s can participate. The pink ribbon walk is a category where women and groups come together to celebrate womanhood. In the Pinkathon, women may register for a 21 km, 10 km, 5 km or 3 km run/walk.
Palava women are not far behind in promoting this cause. They are regularly organising running and fitness events in and around Palava. A recent event is organised by the Palava Pinkathon group in September 2019.
