About the Event

On India’s Independence Day, the "Say No To Drugs" Run emerges as a powerful community initiative aimed at fostering a drug-free future. Organized by TVK Advocate Wing (NorthWest) and led by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph Vijay, who also serves as the President of TVK, this event brings together legal professionals, young people, and citizens from all walks of life to run for a healthier society.
The route winds through vibrant neighborhoods in Chennai, reflecting the city’s rich cultural tapestry while emphasizing the importance of personal freedom and societal well-being. Participants will experience firsthand how running can be an empowering act towards breaking free from substance abuse and embracing a more positive lifestyle.
This run is not just about crossing the finish line; it's about making a collective commitment to change for future generations. Join us as we celebrate independence with purpose, solidarity, and a shared vision of hope and health.
