#RunInRed 2026: A Bigger, Bolder Women’s Day

Posted on: March 23rd, 2026 by Arogya World

On Women’s Day 2026, we got over 2,500 Bengalureans participating in our RunInRed event. Participation has grown 4x since 2024.

Our International Women’s Day event on March 8, #RunInRed was a tremendous success. More than 2,500 Bengalureans joined our 3rd edition of community run to stand up for women’s health.

One of the most powerful sights of the event was the range of people who participated. Our youngest runner was around 2 years old, and we had runners above 70 moving with the same spirit, the same purpose, and the same pride. We also had 10 visually impaired runners from Helping Hands & Guide Runners India run alongside the crowd.

The run was hosted in collaboration with Maharani Lakshmi Ammanni College for Women (mLAC) and they helped make this run a great experience.

We were also supported by a committed ecosystem of partners who brought expertise, energy, and care to the event – AI Health, mPower, Bridge Health, Narayana Nethralaya, Decathlon, Bharavase, Art of Living, Vayah Vikas, Green Path, Marriott International, Neuberg Anand, and Malgudi Chai. Each partner added something distinct, from health and wellness support to on-ground refreshments, and thoughtful giveaways, making it a memorable run for all participants.

We were honoured to have Dr. C. N. Ashwath Narayan (MLA, Malleshwaram & Former Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka), Rachel Shetty (Team Manager, India U-19 Women’s Cricket Team), Geetha Narayanan (Trustee, mLAC), Ashar (Mr. India 2023 & Fitness Instructor) and Chetan KS (Actor & Fitness Influencer) join us as chief guests.

#RuninRed turns awareness into action, gets people moving, and makes prevention feel doable. Everyone who ran, walked, danced, stretched, supported, volunteered, partnered, and cheered, helped moved the conversation of women’s health forward.
