Each category offers an engaging challenge tailored to all ages and abilities.
The route winds through Colombo's picturesque coastal areas and bustling city streets, providing a scenic backdrop that complements the vibrant atmosphere. The event celebrates health, community, diversity, and international unity, making it more than just a race but a day of shared passion and purpose.

Join us for an unforgettable experience that combines athletic achievement with meaningful social impact.
Join the thousands of runners expected to take part in this exciting event, where every step contributes not only to personal goals but also to making a positive difference in communities across Sri Lanka.
