The Sudha Reddy Foundation and the MEIL Foundation on Monday announced the third edition of the Pink Power Run, with organisers expecting more than 20,000 participants for the event scheduled to be held on September 27 at People’s Plaza, Necklace Road in Hyderabad.
The run will feature four race categories, 3 km, 5 km, 10 km and an official 21.097-km Half Marathon, which will be certified by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS). The event will carry a total prize pool of ₹75 lakh, with more than 100 winners expected to benefit.
Sudha Reddy, chairperson of the Sudha Reddy Foundation and director of MEIL, said the run had started as a small dream that had now taken shape and reached its third successful year.
Pragnya Chigurupati, a breast oncosurgeon with AIG Hospitals, said the initiative was particularly important given the changing breast cancer trends in the State. “Telangana currently is rated the highest in terms of breast cancer amongst women and more amongst younger women, that could be you or me,” she added.
Miss World 2025 Opal Suchata Chuangsri said she was grateful to be invited back for a cause that was important to her. She recalled participating in a Pink Power Run activity in Vietnam during the Miss World Festival, where the initiative was taken beyond India.
