Why We Run

The Madras Marathon 2026 is more than just a race—it's a movement dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the fight against cancer. Every step you take, every kilometer you run, contributes directly to supporting cancer patients who cannot afford life-saving treatment. Our aim is to create a platform where fitness meets philanthropy, where your passion for running transforms into hope for those battling cancer.

Our primary goal is to raise awareness about early cancer detection and the importance of regular health check-ups. Through this marathon, we strive to educate communities, break the stigma surrounding cancer, and empower individuals to take charge of their health. We believe that prevention and early detection can save countless lives, and this event serves as a powerful reminder of that message.

Together, we are building a stronger, healthier community—one that stands united in support of cancer patients and their families. Your participation doesn't just help us raise funds; it helps us spread hope, create awareness, and make a lasting impact. Join us in this noble cause and be part of a movement that truly matters.
