FitFest5K 2024 was more than just a run — it was a celebration of community, compassion and collective action. Thousands came together to support the cause of health and well-being, turning the streets into a sea of energy, unity and inspiration.

We danced, we ran, we cheered and most importantly — we made a real difference. Whether it was crossing the finish line, picking up a medal or simply being part of something meaningful, FitFest5K 2024 left everyone with memories worth holding on to.
We can’t wait to do it all over again — bigger, better and with even more IMPACT.
Why We Ran in 2024

To Support Essential Community Health Programs
From rural health check-ups to hygiene kit distribution, the funds raised helped bring basic healthcare and dignity to those who needed it most.
02.
To Make a Positive Impact on the Lives of the Underserved
Whether it was access to medication, clean hygiene or just someone showing up for them — your run meant the world to communities often left behind.
03.
To Promote a Healthy Lifestyle for Friends and Family
Running together wasn’t just fitness — it was a message. That health matters, that we care about our well-being, and that we’re ready to lead by example.

“Crossing the finish line of the FitFest5K run was an incredible feeling, but knowing that I ran for a purpose made it truly unforgettable. The electric atmosphere at HSR Layout on June 23rd was palpable, and knowing that every step I took supported essential medical services for the underprivileged made it all the more meaningful. A huge thank you to the organisers and volunteers for a seamless event. I am so proud to have been part of this incredible initiative by Avant that brought us all together for a noble cause. Can’t wait for the next one!”
