Jamshedpur: The fifth annual Jamshedpur Run, organised by CII Yi � XLRI Net as part of Valhalla 2014 will be held on Sunday tomorrow.
Indian cricketer Saurabh Tiwari and ace Indian mountaineer Premlata Agarwal will flag off the run At the Tata Auditorium, XLRI at 6:00 am.
The run is organised as one of the foremost events of Valhalla, the annual sports and cultural festival of XLRI.
Upholding the legacy of promoting social harmony and youth empowerment, the Yi (Young Indians) Net at XLRI Jamshedpur, a movement promoted by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) conceptualised the mini marathon in 2010.
The team blends the XLRI tradition of encouraging socially responsible businesses with the Yi mission of motivating a generational change in the economic and social agenda of India. In its past editions, the Jamshedpur Run has focused on issues such as �Corporate Peace�, �Say no to Plastic�, and �Run for your Dreams�. This year, the theme �We Can, We Will� reflects the perseverance within each of us to stand strong in the face of adversity.
� The mini marathon will aim to congregate the youth and sensitise them towards their individual social responsibility of bringing more smiles in the lives of strangers in whichever way � small or big � they can. The run is a great opportunity to promote the feeling of fraternity among the residents of the city by bringing them on a common platform.
The students of XLRI hope that the residents of the city extend their support to this edition of Jamshedpur Run, just as they have done in the past,� noted Tejesvi Dhankher, a member of the organising committee.
Valhalla encompasses over 50 events and witnesses footfall of over 3000 with participation from some of the best B-Schools in India.
It is a celebration of creativity and passion. Standing by the founding values of XLRI – �For the Greater Good�, Valhalla is not just any other festival, but an instrument of change as well.
