Vizag Runners is a social enterprise a complete non-profit organisation, which, inspired by the infinite health benefits possibilities of learning and growth that running as a sport offers, started as a small group of passionate runners in 2014, has grown with matured experienced runners, manifold registered as a society in 2021 with an aim to create awareness of health fitness in the community encourage people to make running or walking a part of their lives.
We have volunteers from the community coming forward to support all initiatives regarding environmental social causes too, like Say no to Drugs, Say no to single use Plastic, Save the Soil, Save the ocean to name a few.

Anyone can start running, but the challenge is in imbibing it as part of your lifestyle. That is where a community like Vizag Runners makes a difference. We create a family that acts as a support system to adopt running as part of your life. While a runner initially joins us for the personal benefits of health and fitness, soon they realize there is a larger meaning to their running and the community.
The community helps our runners evolve. Each one of us become better human beings, thanks to running. We understand the true meaning of discipline, determination, diligence, hard work, patience, respect, responsibility, humility, sacrifice, community, cooperation, hope....and the list goes on.
There is never a bad time to start as its never too early or too late to do so.
