 GUWAHATI: The fourth edition of Pinkathon Guwahati 2018, the country’s biggest women’s run, will be held here on September 30.

Announcing this here on Monday, Pinkathon founder and former supermodel, Milind Soman said that the event has carved a niche of being more than a marathon.

“While we conduct Pinkathon once a year in all the key cities, it is now being seen as the seed of change. It’s a movement that is carried forward by a growing community of empowered women across India through the year. These women share a belief that a healthy family, a healthy nation and a healthy world begins with empowered women,” Soman said.

The women’s run encourages and promotes fitness and health among women besides creating awareness about breast cancer.

A fitness icon, the 52-year-old Soman said that the event encourages women to get out and run. “We now organise Pinkathon in eight cities. More than 10,000 women run 3km, 5km, 10km and 21km distances,” he said.

“Online registrations for the multi-category run are open at www.pinkathon.in/guwahati,” he added.
