From the Organizer

From the Sanskrit word ‘Seva’ meaning service, Sevathon was born as an India Community Center initiative. It is a platform designed to bring Non Profit Organizations and participants together. When participants register for an activity at Sevathon and select the NPO they want to support during their registration process, they help the NPO fundraise for their cause.
Walkers, runners, yoga and dance enthusiasts come together each summer to strengthen the Non Profit Organizations' causes and communities. 
Don’t miss out on the thrilling experience of participating in this race. Lace up your running shoes and be part of this incredible event. Come celebrate and fundraise with us!

Race Location

About This Sport

From Endurance Grid's Founder

Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.

The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.

Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.

This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.

How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.

Running

From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
