Great to see events like this getting government support and linking to the Fit India movement. However, I hope the focus on women's health extends beyond annual runs to include better access to nutrition and preventive healthcare year-round, especially in rural areas.

Milind Soman is a fantastic role model. His message is simple but so important. In our busy lives, we often forget self-care. Hope more cities host such events. Jai Hind!

Participated with my daughter this year! It was our first Pinkathon and the feeling is unbelievable. So many women of all ages, from teenagers to grandmothers. This is what a healthy India looks like. Already planning for next year! 💖

While the event is excellent, the article mentions it's the 8th edition. I wonder about the participation data over the years? Has it consistently grown? Would be good to see a trend showing more women are embracing fitness. Still, a positive step.
