Celebrating the tenth year of Hyderabad Runners on Sunday, about 350 runners, dressed in the yellow shirt of Hyderabad Runners, ran a 10k titled ‘Accolade to the Decade’. The run started at Dr Cars, Near IMAX circle and saw runners go all the way to Sanjeevaiah Park and back.

The event brought in a generous donation of Rs 69750 that will go towards funding underprivileged young runners for upcoming Airtel Hyderabad Marathon 2017.

“Being a part of HR is like having a family away from home. There is a closeness among everybody on the team that makes every run delightful. As they say group runs are the cheapest and best therapies. HR proves this quite well.

Hope they celebrate many, many more decades of running and grow as a team motivating more people to have an active lifestyle.”Says Neha Singh, a runner and mentor for the KBR Running team.

“Running gives, me immense pleasure, there’s no feeling like it. I think HR is doing an excellent job promoting healthy lifestyle in the community.”Says Jagadish Reddy a runner, who’s training for his second half marathon at AHM.

Hyderabad Runners also took this occasion to unveil the official HR t-shirt, commemorating 10 years of its existence. In addition, an initiative called Charities @ Hyderabad Marathon was launched.

The idea behind it is to make charities an intrinsic part of marathon running and encourage runners to run not just for personal satisfaction but for a social cause as well.
