About Event

Walk Run Pedal – Gandhi Jayanti Community Fitness Event | Walk for Peace, Run for Change
About the Event
Walk for Peace. Run for Change. Pedal for a Better Tomorrow.

Celebrate Gandhi Jayanti through movement, togetherness and positive action at this community-focused fitness event that brings walkers, runners and cyclists together for a morning of activity, wellness and community participation.

WALK – RUN – PEDAL is designed around a simple idea: there are different ways to move, but everyone can contribute to a healthier and more connected community.

Participants can choose from multiple distance options across walking, running and cycling. Whether you are a beginner taking your first step into organised fitness activities, a regular runner or cyclist, part of a family group, or simply looking for an active way to mark Gandhi Jayanti, the event offers different ways to participate.

Along with physical activity, the event reflects values associated with peace, discipline, simplicity and community service.

The morning includes participant check-in, a warm-up and Zumba session, event briefing and flag-off, followed by refreshments, photography, fun games, activities and trophy distribution.

A Gandhi Jayanti community initiative will also take place after the walk, run or pedal, with activities focused on cleanliness, plantation, community awareness, fitness and wellness.

The event is organised by INDro Foundation / Thayiya Madilu and Fitness At Your Place as part of their Fitness, Sports & Well-being initiatives.

Movement becomes a way to bring people together while reflecting on themes such as:

Peace

Discipline

Simplicity

Community service

The event uses walking, running and cycling as accessible forms of participation, creating a shared experience that combines wellness and community action.

Event Schedule

The morning follows a structured schedule designed to guide participants from check-in through the conclusion of the event.

5:00 AM – Participant Reporting and Check-In

Participants are expected to report and complete the check-in process from 5:00 AM.

This is also the time to prepare for the morning's activities and ensure that participants are ready before the warm-up begins.

5:30 AM – Warm-Up and Zumba Session

A warm-up and Zumba session begins at 5:30 AM.

The session provides participants with a guided opportunity to get moving before the main event.

This stage helps communicate the relevant instructions and information before the flag-off.

The main walk, run and pedal activities are scheduled for 6:00 AM.

Participants begin their selected activity after the official flag-off.

7:00 AM Onwards – Post-Activity Experience

This creates an opportunity to continue the community experience after completing the selected route.

Bib Collection and Event Kit

Bib collection will be available on the event day.

Participants can collect their Bib and Event Kit at the designated collection counter before the start of the event.

The event extends beyond fitness through a Gandhi Jayanti community initiative.

After the walk, run or pedal, a simple community service activity will take place with a focus on:

Cleanliness

Encouraging participation in activities connected with cleaner shared spaces.

Plantation

Promoting plantation-focused community participation.

Community Awareness

Creating awareness around community participation and positive action.

Fitness and Wellness

Continuing the event's emphasis on healthy living and well-being beyond the morning's physical activity.

The initiative connects the movement-based event with a broader message of community responsibility.

Fitness, Community, Well-Being and Service

The event's core ideas can be summarised through four themes.

Fitness

Promote active lifestyles.

Walking, running and cycling provide accessible ways for participants to incorporate physical movement into a community event.

Community

Bring people together.

The event creates a shared environment for families, friends, runners, cyclists and other participants.

Well-Being

Encourage healthy living.

The morning combines movement, warm-up activities and a focus on fitness and wellness.

Service

Inspire positive community action.

The post-event community initiative encourages participants to contribute beyond the physical activity itself.

Walk for Peace

The walking category gives participants a slower-paced way to engage with the event.

With 2.5 km and 5 km options, the walk can accommodate participants looking for a manageable route while still becoming part of the larger community celebration.

The emphasis is on movement, togetherness and participation.

Run for Change

The running category provides four distance choices:

2.5 km, 5 km, 7.5 km and 10 km

This gives runners a range of options depending on their preferred distance and participation level.

The running experience is part of the event's larger fitness and community theme.

Pedal for a Better Tomorrow

Cyclists can select from:

2.5 km, 5 km, 7.5 km and 10 km

The pedal category provides an alternative way to participate while supporting the event's broader message of active lifestyles and community connection.

A Morning for Families and Fitness Enthusiasts

The event is designed to bring together people with different reasons for attending.

Some may come for fitness. Others may participate as a family or group. Some may want to celebrate Gandhi Jayanti through community action.

The combination of multiple route options and post-event activities creates opportunities for participants to share the morning regardless of their preferred activity.

Warm-Up and Zumba

Before the main event, participants can take part in the warm-up and Zumba session at 5:30 AM.

This provides a guided start to the morning and allows participants to get physically prepared before the flag-off.

It also adds an energetic group element to the event before the walking, running and cycling activities begin.

Route Support

Participants receive route support as part of the listed event inclusions.

This forms part of the organised event infrastructure and is intended to support participants during their selected walk, run or pedal activity.

Participants should still follow all event instructions and route guidance provided by the organisers.

Refreshments and Post-Event Activities

From 7:00 AM onwards, the event shifts into its post-activity programme.

Participants can enjoy:

Refreshments

Photography

Fun games

Activities

Trophy distribution

This allows the morning to continue as a social event even after participants complete their selected route.

Photography and Community Memories

Event photos are included among the participant benefits.

Photography can capture different aspects of the event, from the pre-event preparation and flag-off to the walk, run, pedal activities and community interactions.

The photography element adds another way for participants to preserve memories of the event.

One Day. Three Ways to Move. One Community.

The central message of the event can be expressed through three simple choices:

Walk

Run

Pedal

Each activity provides a different form of participation, but all three come together under the same community-focused event.
