Pinkathon is a 10kms International Run only for women. The objective of the event is to encourage women?s health and fitness. Pinkathon also aims to raise awareness about breast cancer, its causes and prevention. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths amongst women worldwide, in spite of it being one of the curable cancers if detected early. The key to controlling this disease therefore, is to create awareness about preventive measures for breast cancer. Pinkathon offers the running distances of 3 Kms, 5 Kms & 10 Kms giving each runner an opportunity, to run in their comfort zone.
The running distance of 10K is gaining popularity all over the world. It is a much shorter distance than the full marathon (42.195 kms) or even the half marathon (21.0975 kms).
Although the 10K distance can be a challenge, it is not a daunting one. First timers with the right training for even 6 weeks can easily run the entire distance!
Since Pinkathon encourages all women to adopt running as an activity, age no bar, there is the 5K distance which is relatively easier even for women who think they cannot run at all.
The 3K pink ribbon walk for Breast Cancer is a popular category in the event where you see varied levels of participation, from 10 year old girls to women in their 70?s. The pink ribbon walk is a fun category where women and groups come together to celebrate womanhood.
