The Run which is organized with the support of Quambiant Developers, Telangana Police, Hyderabad Runners, and others will be held in three different categories–5K, 10K, and 21.1K(Half Marathon). Over 20,000 participants are expected to participate in the event to be held in the Gachibowli.
The format is Hybrid–In-person as well as Virtual. Probably it is the only Run in India that is held in two different formats.
The run will be organized by GRACE Cancer Foundation, a Hyderabad-based non-profit organization founded to alleviate cancer burden through Education, Early Detection, Treatment, Rehabilitation, and cutting-edge Research. Every participant not only gets to run their favorite distance, but they also help a good cause by donating a portion of their registration fee to cancer screening and awareness” Dr Chinababu said

The objectives for the Run according to Dr. Chinababu are to make a meaningful and significant impact on people’s lives by creating awareness about Cancer, to promote physical activity as a means to prevent and combat cancer in society and to help people lead active lifestyles, and also to raise funds for screening the underprivileged right at their doorstep, for free.
The Grace Cancer Foundation works towards helping marginalized communities fight cancer. Most tumours are treatable if they are detected at an early stage and offered the right treatment. However, most people living in remote and slum areas across the globe are ignorant of this fact, and unfortunately, they are succumbing to it. So, it has been our deepest desire to reach out to the unreached and bring awareness about this disease.
It is baffling that 9.5 million people are losing to cancer every year across the world. So, to prevent more people from falling prey to it, so far, the foundation has been conducting free screening camps, cancer awareness talks, and cancer runs in 10 countries, covering 4 continents.
