CIG-RID-THON 2.0 is a community-driven awareness run dedicated to promoting a healthier, addiction-free society. Organized by ExploreiT Nextgen Solutions in collaboration with the Symbiosis Centre for Emotional Wellbeing (SCEW) under their VIHAAN campaign, the event aims to raise awareness about the dangers of substance abuse and inspire positive behavioural change among youth and communities.

This year’s edition seeks active participation from the GST & Customs Department, reflecting the government’s commitment to public health and social responsibility. The event encourages every citizen to “run for change” — symbolizing strength, resilience, and unity in the fight against substance abuse. The marathon will kick off with a Zumba warm-up session, followed by the flag-off ceremony led by dignitaries, including the Commissioner of Pune City. Runners will experience five vibrant pit stops along the scenic Viman Nagar route, culminating in an award ceremony and closing address at the finish line.

With over 600 participants expected, including students, corporates, and citizens, CIG-RID-THON 2.0 combines fitness, awareness, and community spirit to build a healthier, more mindful generation.
