About Us
The Namma Marathon is a unique initiative dedicated to running for a cause, promoting fitness, and giving back to society. Unlike traditional annual marathons, this event focuses on a different social cause each year. This year, the spotlight is on raising awareness and support for dialysis care, helping those battling kidney disease.
Open to participants of all ages and fitness levels, the marathon offers a 3K fun run for beginners and families, while experienced runners can take on the 5K and 10K challenges. Whether you're here for the cause, the competition, or the community spirit, the Namma Marathon is more than just a race—it's a movement toward a healthier, more compassionate society.
The run is set to take place at GKVK (Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra), Bengaluru, a scenic and eco-friendly venue known for its lush greenery and open spaces. Running at GKVK offers a refreshing experience, with clean air, tree-lined paths, and a peaceful environment that enhances endurance and mental well-being. Studies show that running in green spaces reduces stress, improves cardiovascular health, and boosts overall fitness. Whether you're a seasoned runner or a first-time participant, GKVK provides the perfect setting to challenge yourself while embracing the benefits of outdoor running.
"Run for a cause, stride for change—every step you take makes a difference!"
The Cause
Kidney disease affects millions worldwide, and for many, dialysis is the only lifeline. However, the high costs of treatment can place a heavy financial burden on patients and their families. Without adequate support, some individuals struggle to access the care they desperately need.
Namma Marathon is dedicated to create awareness and raise funds for dialysis treatment, ensuring that those in need receive financial assistance for their ongoing care. Every contribution goes directly toward supporting patients, covering medical expenses, and improving access to life-saving treatment.
By participating in this event, you are not only running for a cause but also helping to transform lives. Together, we can make dialysis accessible, provide hope, and give patients the chance to live healthier, fuller lives.
