Event Information

Dear Runners,

         The Outplay Sports Foundation is making a sincere effort to combine sports and nature tourism through the sport of running and to promote nature conservation and create a movement of public awareness through it. The first edition of the Pargad Heritage Run (half marathon) is based on the slogan "#NatureFirst". We know that nature comes first and we want to convey the same message through this initiative. “

Deforestation is one of the main reasons why so many environmental issues are taking a serious turn. The Outplay Sports Foundation has always strived to balance mental and physical health with the conservation of rainforests and their flora and fauna and its importance to the masses, and this is our goal.

Given the scope of this work, it is inevitable to increase public participation. With this in mind, we have decided to launch the "Pargad Heritage Run" initiative. The race will be organized with a detailed consideration of environmental, economic and social issues, and all participating members will be honored with saplings who have shown willingness and commitment to participate in this nature conservation project.

The "Pargad Heritage Run" program seeks to educate the people on the following issues under the "Guardians of Nature" campaign.

Natural conservation.

Tree planting.

Water conservation.

Waste recycling.

Natural energy efficiency.

During the program, experts / speakers working in each of the above categories present the seriousness of these issues to the people and suggest solutions. We are confident that we will achieve this goal through the participation of the government and the people.

Group Gram Panchayat Mirvel, Fort Pargad, Namkhol and Fort Pargad Jankalyan Sanstha will jointly organize and guide expert and experienced Altitude Quest Adventure LLP in this field.

Welcome to the proposed first edition of the Pargad Heritage Run.
