In a spirited celebration of fitness, inclusion, and youth empowerment, the Hyderabad Runners Society conducted the 7th edition of the OK Kids Graduation Run on Sunday morning at the Telangana State Forest Academy, Dulapally.
The run marked the grand finale of an 8-week Outdoor Kids Summer Camp, a unique initiative designed to build healthy habits, instil fitness awareness, and nurture self-confidence in children aged 6 to 14.
A highlight of this year’s event was the participation of over 300 children from government schools, trained under Hyderabad Runners’ flagship social impact program, Project Champion. These children, from 10 government schools across Hyderabad, were introduced to the fundamentals of physical literacy through structured training sessions, and proudly crossed the finish line alongside their peers. All Project Champion participants were also gifted school bags and running shoes to support their journey beyond the event.
Conducted across 20 city locations, the OKkids initiative is part of the broader “Couch to Playground” mission of Hyderabad Runners—a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2007 to promote running as the most accessible and inclusive form of fitness.
The event was supported with on-ground medical assistance by Apollo Hospitals, while families and participants enjoyed a festive morning complete with hydration stations, nutritious snacks, and fun-filled activities in a natural green setting.
The OK Kids Graduation Run is more than just a run—it’s a community movement that reimagines the way children engage with fitness, especially those from underserved backgrounds.
