A 5-K run was organized by the 10-K Run Foundation on Sunday, to create awareness among women about their health.
‘My Health – My Concern’, run was flagged off jointly by Sailaja Kiran, director of the Margadarsi Chit Funds and Surekha, wife of the Tirupati MLA Chiranjeevi.
Speaking on the occasion, Sailaja Kiran said they had all walked for five kilo metres and felt very much relieved of both physical and mental stress. She said if every woman spares an hour for walk every day, she could keep the doctor away.
A large number of women have participated in the run enthusiastically. Women chose 5 km or 2 km as per their age and capacity. Sailaja Kiran has given away prizes to the winners of the run. Performances by youth at the Necklace Road on the occasion were special attractions of the event. (NSS)
