Fantastic to see Milind Soman involved. He's a true fitness icon. Events like these are needed in every city, not just Mumbai. Women's health, especially breast cancer awareness, is a critical issue that needs continuous spotlight. Hope they bring the main Pinkathon to Delhi NCR soon!

The 'Grandmother's 10K Run' is such a brilliant concept. It promotes family bonding along with fitness. In today's fast-paced life, we rarely get to do activities with our elders. This bridges the generation gap beautifully. Kudos to the organizers!

While the intent is great, I hope the event was truly accessible. Promotional events in colleges like VES are good, but the main marathon should ensure participation from women across all economic backgrounds. Sometimes these events feel a bit exclusive. Just a thought.

As a Chembur resident, I'm so proud VES hosted this! The campus ground is perfect for such community events. More local institutions should open their spaces for health and wellness initiatives. It creates a great sense of community. Already planning to attend the main run with my mom and dadi! 💖

Zumba, group sessions, health talks... sounds like a perfect Sunday morning! This is how we should normalize fitness as a fun, social activity rather than a chore. Hope the message reaches every household. Health is wealth, after all.
