Mangaluru: On Sunday morning, several women clad in saree were seen participating in a walk and run event organised by Mangaluru Women’s Run Troupe in Mannagudda.
The event, organised in association with Medimade Solutions, Lions Club, JCI Club, Inner wheel Club and other women’s clubs aimed to break the notion among people that tracksuits and shorts are the only attire for fitness exercise.
Since few women are not comfortable donning this attire, they usually avoid following a fitness routine. Hence to break this notion and make people realise that saree too can be incorporated in your fitness regime the ‘Saree Walk and Run’ event was organised. Nearly 600 women participated in the walk and run despite the showers.
Participants were handed certificates and medals. A medical help and water counters were provided throughout the two kilometre stretch.
